Flat Tow Set-Up for 2015 Jeep Wrangler Using Blue Ox Tow-Bar and Roadmaster InvisiBrake System
Question:
Good Evening, I need a Base Plate, light wiring, and invisabrake system for a 2015 Jeep Wrangler 2 door. I have a Blue Ox tow bar #BX7335 Avesta II. I also may need the safety wires. Please provide the most favorable options.

For complete flat towing setup for your 2015 Jeep Wrangler you will need a number of components, including base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system. Since you already have a Blue Ox tow-bar, I suggest the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX1126 along with RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000lbs Item # RM-643. The coiled design will prevent the cables from dragging on the ground and being damaged.
For a wiring solution to have your indicator lights activated from the motorhome, I suggest the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles, # HM56200. I recommend this option because it is custom fit for your 2015 Jeep and is a plug-n-play connection, no wire splicing needs to occur to properly install this option.
For your supplemental braking, you stated you want the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System. That is item # RM-8700.
You may also need a high/low adapter to keep your tow bar level between your motorhome and Jeep. Since this requires some measuring I've attached our guide to determining the correct adapter for your needs and attached our page of high/low adapters as well.
Please note that I have linked several product installation videos below of these items being installed a Jeep.
