• 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...

• Recommended Base Plate Kit For 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Freedom Edition
  As long as your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Oscar Mike Edition (Freedom Edition) does not have the American Expedition vehicles bumper the available base plates are the Roadmaster Direct Connect # 1444-3, Roadmaster Crossbar Style # 1444-1, and the Demco Tabless # DM34FR.

• Base Plate that Fits 2013 Jeep Wrangler With American Expedition Tubeless Bumper
  I do have an option for you but the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms part # 1444-1 is only a fit for the 10th anniversary edition of the Jeep.

• Difference Between Base Plate Kits for 2016 Jeep Wrangler 75th Anniversary
  The difference between the two Roadmaster base plate kits you referenced is the design of the removable arms of the kit. The part # 1444-3 is a MX kit which does not use a crossbar and would be easier to install in my opinion. The XL part # 1444-1 uses removable arms that require attaching to a crossbar like what comes with the Roadmaster tow bars. The kit would be just as involved as the Blue Ox kit part # BX1134 as the attachment brackets are very similar. In addition to the base plates,...
