For the 2014 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Edition, the proper Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, is # BX1134. This will mate well to your Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar, # BX7380.

You will also need a wiring solution to link your indicator lights to the RV and a supplemental braking system. I suggest the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles, # HM56200 along with the Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System, # HM39530 as these are not only a plug and play installation for the wiring, but they to will mate well to each other. The Hopkins wiring kit, # HM56200 plugs in quickly and easily without the need to cut or splice any wires. This provides a 4-way flat plug at the front of your Jeep which plugs into the Brake Buddy Stealth # HM39530 without needing to cut or splice either.

The Brake Buddy Stealth is a semi-permanent installation. You don't need to reactivate any parts when you're getting ready to tow, nor do you need to remove anything when you're done towing. The Brake Buddy Stealth can stay in your vehicle year-round. Once you're ready to tow again, just plug your towed car into your RV and the system will automatically begin functioning. The Stealth controller doesn't just work when you're flat towing the Jeep but it also acts as a proportional trailer brake controller for when you're towing a trailer with the Jeep. Just press the mode control button on the side of the controller to switch from supplemental braking system mode to trailer braking mode. The Stealth controller works with trailers that have up to 4 axles (8 brake assemblies) and electric brakes.
