Expert Reply:

The RoadMaster StowMaster Car-Mounted Tow Bar - 6,000 lbs, # RM-501, is a very good application on your 1999 Jeep Wrangler with the flat U-channel bumper being towed by a GMC 2500 HD. It does not include any safety cables or base plate brackets.

You will need to purchase the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, # 1420-1, which attaches to the tow vehicle frame. These brackets then allow the tow bar to attach to the tow vehicle.

I also have safety cables available for the tow bar. You can use RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs, # RM-643.

You will also need towing lights to put on the Jeep. You could use the Custer Magnetic Towing Light Kit, 20 ft. Long Cord, # RM-2120, which has a non-scratch magnetic base and can plug into your 4-way connector.
