The Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, # 1429-1, is the correct base plate kit for your 2007 Jeep Wrangler 2 door, as long as there are no aftermarket parts like bumper, winch or brush guards on the front of the Jeep.

This kit is compatible with the older Stowmaster 5000 Tow Bar, similar to part # RM-502. As long you have a set of car side quick disconnects you are ready to go. If not you can use the RoadMaster Quick Disconnects, # RM-222.

To complete your towing setup, I would recommend going with the Roadmaster Stowmaster Towing Combo Kit, # RM-9254, which includes all of the taillight wiring, safety cables and locks you need for your towing setup. This kit also includes a tow bar cover and storage bag for towing accessories.

Finally, you will need a supplemental braking system, required in most states, for your Jeep. The Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System, # RM-8700, is a good option. We have an installation video showing this system being installed for you to review.
