We do offer Blue Ox base plates for the 2013 Jeep Wrangler 10th Anniversary Rubicon. I confirmed with my contact at Blue Ox that their kit # BX1134 will fit this vehicle as long as it does not have aftermarket bumpers, winches or guards.

Be sure to check your Wrangler owner's manual for any preparations required for safe flat towing of this vehicle.

Flat towing requires a number of components in addition to the base plates and tow bar. You will also need a wiring/lighting kit, safety cables and a supplementary braking system, which is required in most states. The linked article covers each of these items in detail and will allow you to explore the options in each category.

Hello. This post says as long as it does not have aftermarket bumpers, winches or guards.There is another Q&A for the blue ox base plate that states no problems with the Jeep Wrangler 10th Anniversary/Hard Rock bumper even with a winch installed. Can you confirm?Thank you

The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1134 is a fit for the 2014-18 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X (Includes Hard Rock) according to the manufacturer instructions which I've included. The manufacturer photos in their instructions show the winch installed with the base plates without issue. Aftermarket winch installations can cause issues, but factory options are not an issue.
