Are Removable Arms Included with Roadmaster Removeable Arm Base Plate Kit for 2021 Jeep Gladiator
Question:
Do the removable connectors come with the base plate? The two removable connectors that actually connect to the tow bar via pins.

It sounds like you're referring to the arms that come out of the base plates and yes, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521453-5 comes with those arms; it actually comes with everything you would need for a complete base plate kit that will allow you to connect directly to Roadmaster tow bars that are compatible with direct connect base plates.
A complete flat towing kit consists of base plates, a tow bar, tow bar wiring, supplemental braking system and a high/low adapter. I've put together a short list of the parts you would need that I recommend if you don't already have all of these components for your 2021 Jeep Gladiator, including a compatible tow bar.
Tow bar: Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights - RV Mount - 8K # RM-676 (includes safety cables)
Tow bar wiring: Roadmaster Flexo-Coil 7-wire to 6-wire Diode Kit # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking: Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR
Additional parts: Roadmaster Stop Light Switch: # RM-751490 and Roadmaster Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25
I've linked some review videos of these parts, as well as a helpful article on how to correctly measure to determine if you need a high/low adapter.
