Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit, # C32KR is a confirmed fit for the 2005 Jeep TJ. It is compatible with Curt and Blue Ox tow bars. I suggest the Curt Rambler Steel Tow Bar for Curt and Blue Ox Base Plates, # C26FR. This will have the needed safety cables with it, so no additional purchase needed.
Other parts you may need to flat tow your TJ are, wiring for the lights, a supplemental braking system, and a high-low adapter.
To power the Jeep's lights the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 includes the diodes, wiring, and connectors you'll need. I've linked the installation on a 2007 Jeep for you.
You also may need a supplemental braking system. The SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 is a favorite around here because of how reliable it is and it's easier to install than many other permanently installed systems.
Finally, you'll likely need a high-low adapter. I've attached an article to help you determine the correct rise or drop your setup requires. I've also linked our selection of adapters for you to look at once you know what you need.
In addition to my recommendations I've linked some articles on flat towing that you may find helpful.
