Comparing Two Demco Baseplate Styles For A 2006 Jeep Wrangler
Question:
Good afternoon, Im looking to flat tow a 2006 Jeep Wrangler, standard factory bumper. I have a Excaliber II tow bar. Looks like I have 2 options-the full width bar at almost $500.00 or the individual attachment point 2 system for about $180.00. My bumper channel is removed, I believe the $180.00 system would be fine. Any reason to go with the other. Also will need wiring system. Have a brake buddy for brakes. Your assistance is much appreciated. Tom Fanning

Hi Tom,
Baseplate fitment comes down to the bumper on your Wrangler, with you having a standard factory bumper the Demco # DM9518112 is going to be a compatible fit and will save you both time and money so for your situation it's a no-brainer.
For the lights I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This will give you everything you need to display your motorhome's traffic signals through the tail lights of your Wrangler. It's also going to include a 6-pole socket which will allow you to install the charge line # BB54FR that came with your Brake Buddy system to keep the battery charged while you tow.
