Parts Needed To Flat Tow a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon With Factory Steel Bumper and Warn Winch
Question:
What base plates do you recommend for a 2018 jeep wrangler Rubicon Jl unlimited with a OEM steel bumper and a warn winch?
asked by: Robert B
Expert Reply:
With your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon Unlimited having the factory steel bumper and Warn winch you are going to need the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM24VR. I recommend paring this with the Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676. You will also want the Roadmaster Accessory Kit # RM-9284-2 with this. It includes the wiring you will need for integrating the tail lights on your Wrangler to operate off the lights of your motorhome. A Charge Line # RM-156-25 is the last electrical component you will need to ensure the supplemental braking system will not drain the battery on your Jeep.
I prefer the Demco braking systems for their ease of use and reliability. If your motorhome has air brakes you will want the Air Force One # DM26VR. Or if you have hydraulic brakes you will need the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo # DM86VR.
Finally depending on the height difference of the receiver and bumper you may need a High/Low Adapter # BLU28XR to keep the tow bar within 3" of level.
