Expert Reply:

The Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-4 referenced in your question does not feature a mounting space for a breakaway switch. This is really the case for any of the base plate kits we have available as it's really best to attach the breakaway switch and bracket directly to the vehicle and not an external attachment like the base plates or tow bar. On your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler your best option may be to attach it to the underside of the front fascia/bumper.

I have a solution for you, however, I would not recommend mounting a tow bar directly to a bumper on a Jeep, whether it is OEM or an aftermarket bumper. Jeep does not recommend towing the Wrangler with the OEM bumper because it was not designed to…
