According to Blue Ox, the weight rating of the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1120 is up to the GVWR of your 2000 Jeep Wrangler TJ. So you can definitely put some stuff in it, you just need to make sure the Jeep doesn't exceed its GVWR, which you will be able to find in your owner's manual.
Since you plan on towing your 2000 Wrangler, here are all the parts you need along with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1120:
- Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar # BX7380
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Supplemental Braking System: Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251
OR
- For a motorhome with air brakes: Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motorhomes with Air Brakes # SM99243
- Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400
You may also need a high-low adapter in order to keep your Wrangler level, and I've added a link to a help article which shows you how to determine if you need an adapter, as well as a link to our selection of adapters. Additionally, I have added links to instruction manuals, video reviews and installations for you to take a look at.
