For your 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with AEV premium front bumper, you have a few options. The first option is to use the D-ring locations to utilize the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars - 1" Thick # RM-035-1 or the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars - 3/4" Thick # RM-035.
Unfortunately you will not be able to use the tracker tow bar # RM-020 with these base plate adapters. The Tracker Tow bar is not compatible with the AEV Premium front bumper. I recommend using the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 instead which is compatible.
The second option is to use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1133 which will also fit your vehicle, however, you sill will not be able to use the tracker tow bar with this system as there is not a compatible adapter. For this base plate kit, I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380.
Let me know if you need recommendations and compatible components for the rest of your system.
