Base Plate Kit Solution for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK with WJ2 Stubby Westin Bumper
Question:
Hello! I have a question about the proper baseplate for towing my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK behind my RV. I would like to use the Ready Brute Elite II RV Tow Bar if possible. The Jeep does have a WJ2 STUBBY FRONT BUMPER W/LED LIGHT BAR MOUNT from Westin already installed. Could you point me in the right direction so I can make the correct purchases from you for my needs? Thank you!

I looked up your WJ2 Stubby Westin bumper and since it has D-rings on the front of it that would be how you'd connect a tow bar to it. You will have to measure the diameter of the holes on them though to pick out correct adapter. If the hole is 1 inch in diameter you'd want the # BX88358 or if they are 7/8 inch you'd want the part # BX88357.
You'd have to use a Blue Ox tow bar with these though like the # BX7420 as there isn't an adapter for them so they can be used on a Ready Brute tow bar.
