Expert Reply:

The base plates I recommend for your 2005 Wrangler are the Roadmaster XL Base Plates, part # RM-521424-4. These will work on your Wrangler if you have the double tube bumper. The base plates have removable arms that make the baseplates almost invisible when removed.

Since you said you have the Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar, part # RM-576, it has the wiring that connects to your RV or vehicle. The tow bar should have come with a 6-way connector for the Jeep as well. If so, then you can use the Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, part # RM-152. If you do not have the 6-way receptacle for the Jeep, you can use part # RM-910030-7.

You want to tow your Jeep with a tow bar that is as level as possible so I have attached a link to our product page for the high-low adapters we offer.

Since a supplemental brake system is now required in most states I recommend part # RM-9400. This is a proportional radio frequency braking system that simply plugs into the Jeep 12V outlet.
