Which Base Plates for 2006 Jeep Wrangler and Roadmaster 5250 Tow Bar

Question:

Hi I just purchased a used Roadmaster 5250 towbar. I want to pull my 2004 Jeep Rubicon behind my motorhome. What are my base plate options? Standard factory front bumper. Thanks

The Roadmaster 5250 is the original Falcon tow bar, so it will still work with most Roadmaster base plates, including the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521424-4. These are the base plates I recommend using with your Falcon on your 2004 Jeep TJ Rubicon edition. This will work with most bumpers on the Jeep.

If you also need a tow bar wiring kit for the Jeep I recommend using the Roadmaster Hy-Power Diode Kit # RM-154. This is a 4 way wiring harness that controls the lights on your toad, and I really like this one since it comes with diodes to help prevent electrical backfeed from damaging the Jeep.

If you don't have already have supplemental braking, safety cables, a high low adapter or any other accessories that you might need to complete your flat towing setup, just let me know and I'm happy to help you locate anything else you might need. I've also linked an installation video of the wiring harness, plus some helpful articles on flat towing a 2004 Jeep that you also might find helpful.
