• Base Plate for 2014 Jeep Wrangler With 1 D-Ring Bumper Mounts
  We have exactly what you need to flat tow your 2014 Jeep Wrangler with an off-road bumper that has 1" D-ring brackets, the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars - 1" Thick # RM-035-1. As the name of the product states, however, they will require a Roadmaster tow bar as there are no adapters to use with a Blue Ox tow bar.

• Best Flat Towing Setup for a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with D-Ring Bumper Mounts or OEM Rubicon Bumper
  To setup any vehicle for flat towing the basic parts that you need are a Base Plate Kit, Tow Bar, Safety Cables, Vehicle Tow Bar Wiring, a Supplemental Braking System, and most likely a High-Low Adapter. Since your 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has the 3/4 inch D-Ring bumper mounts you won't need a base plate kit. Instead you will need to use the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts # RM-035 with a Roadmaster Tow Bar. I recommend using the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 as it is...

• How to Connect a 6-Way from RV to Flat Tow 2009 Jeep Wrangler
  As you can see in the attached diagram, a 6-way should have 12V power and the other function is usually a brake controller output. I recommend checking your fuses to determine if one has blown and that is causing the 12V not to show power; your RV's owner's manual should have the fuse locations for you to take a look at. If you do need to run a wire you can do so from your RV's battery by using the right amount of 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 with Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05745-10 and...

  Yes, either braking system will work. Both the Blue Ox Patriot, Item # BLU37TR, and the Roadmaster InvisiBrake System, Item # RM-8700, are good options.
