Complete Flat Towing Setup For A 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
Question:
I watched a video or 2 about making my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL flat towable and the guy doing the video says rout this wire this way and that wire that way and oh yea you’ll need this part and that part and it becomes very obvious that I can’t keep the full list of parts needed clear. Starting from scratch I need a recommendation for a build and a parts list! A phone number somewhere on your website would be to good to be true!

Thanks for reaching out, I'll break it down into the main parts that will fit your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler below:
-You'll first need a base plate, like the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948, and a tow bar compatible with your base plate that also has the capacity to tow your vehicle, like the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR.
-Next, you'll need a braking system, the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 is a great option with a one time install, that will make hooking up and taking off, quick and easy.
-Finally, you're going to need wiring # RM-152-98146-7, a Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751480, and a high-low adapter like # C59KR.
Before choosing a high-low adapter, you'll want to check out the FAQ I've attached that goes into detail on how you can determine what you'll need.
