Recommended Roadmaster Base Plate for 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Factory Bumper
Question:
My Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 all-terrain tow bar is still in great shape after several years of use on my last Jeep but I need base plates for the 19 Unlimited. It has the regular factory bumper.

For your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with standard bumper I suggest Roadmaster's EZ5 Base Plate # RM-521453-5 because its streamlined design and removable draw bars mean a cleaner appearance on the Jeep when you're not towing it.
This USA-made base plate includes all hardware and it is directly compatible with your BlackHawk 2 all-terrain tow bar # RM-422. Installation instructions are linked for reference.
Just in case you need some of the other essential flat towing items I will give you recommendations for those as well.
For safety chains I like the coiled Roadmaster set # RM-643 because they tend not to drag on the ground. For a diode wiring/lighting kit you can use Roadmaster part # RM-15267 and for a braking system their Even Brake # RM-9400 along with 12V outlet kit # RM-9332. For a high/low hitch adapter Roadmaster part # RM-048-8 is a good option.
Some helpful articles on flat towing are linked for you as well.
