Expert Reply:

We do not offer a complete flat tow kit for a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited because there are too many different product variations that some vehicles require and others don't. We do not offer the ready brute 2 tow bar kits. That being said I am more than happy to list out the products I have installed and recommend, that would be best for setting up your Jeep to be flat towed. I recommend the following:

Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit Item # RM-521453-5. This base plate attaches to the chassis of the vehicle to give you a solid connection point for your tow bar. When not towing the Jeep, the tabs can be removed to maintain a clean look. It is compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars that are motor home mounted. This kit will require red Loctite Item # LT37420

Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System Item # DM86VR if your motor home has hydraulic brakes. This is a more permanent installation. Once installed the only thing required when flat towing is the flip of a switch to turn the unit on once the umbilical is connected. It is a proportional system that works off an inertia sensor located in the G-Force Controller. When the brakes are applied in the motor home, the current from the brake light passes into the G-Force controller and tells the unit to apply the brakes in the Jeep. The inertia sensor tells the unit how much pressure to apply by how much the front of the Jeep drops and how fast.

Demco SBS Air Force One Item # SM99243 if your motor home has air brakes. This system is also a more permanent installation but is designed for motor homes with air brakes. Once installed, it requires nothing to be done for the system to function other than connecting the air hose from the back of the motor home to the front of the Jeep.

Both braking systems come with everything needed to get them installed along with brake away switches.

A brake light switch is needed for the braking systems because the factory wire cannot be spliced into. Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit Item # RM-751490

Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit Item # RM-154. This kit is designed to allow you to use your factory taillights to accept signal functions from the motor home. The diodes attach to factory wiring behind each taillight, the wiring is ran to the front of the vehicle where it is attached to a six pole plug which is not included. Item # RM-910030-7

Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Item # RM-676 comes with safety cables and umbilical. Each arm has integrated LED lights so the tow bar is visible at night. It is aluminum construction, 8,000 lb capacity, non binding, and has extra long telescoping arms that extend 52".
