I looked up your order history and the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 1429-3 that you ordered are indeed a fit for a 2009 Jeep Wrangler as long as you have a standard factory bumper with no winches or guards.

Since you're planning to flat tow your 2009 Jeep Wrangler you'll also need a tow bar, tow bar wiring kit, braking system, and safety cables. If you haven't already purchased these items then I have the following recommendations for you:

Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522. This tow bar features a large hookup radius and non-binding latches that make connecting and disconnecting on any terrain a breeze.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode kit allows you to use your Jeep Wrangler's tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback from your RV.

Since you'll have to disconnect the battery to flat tow you can use the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle w/ Supplemental Braking System # RM-766 to make disconnecting and reconnecting the battery as simple as flipping a switch.

Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # HM39524. This system offers intense, emergency braking or steady, smooth braking in a single portable system. Easily switch between proportional or full braking using the remote from the cab of your motorhome. The included charge line kit will keep your Wrangler's battery charged while you tow.

Safety Cables: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000lbs # RM-643. The coiled design of these cables will help prevent them from dragging on the ground and being damaged.

You may also require a high/low adapter to keep the tow bar level between the motorhome and Wrangler. This does require some measuring on your part so I've attached our help article to walk you through the steps of determining the correct rise/drop needed for your application.
