Glad to help. Before getting too far, I would review the owner's manual of your 2017 Jeep Wrangler 2 Door Willys edition to find out recommendations and suggestions for towing.

The items needed to tow your Jeep Wrangler will be base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, wiring, and a braking system.

For your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Willys Edition, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Item # RM-521448-4 because it is designed for your vehicle (so long as standard factory bumper). It also has twistlock brackets that are virtually invisible and can be removed. The Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain Item # RM-576 is a great choice that fits the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate and it includes safety cables.

A good lighting kit for your Jeep Wrangler is the Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit Item # RM-15267 that will use your vehicle's tail lights and also includes 7-wire to 6-wire coiled electrical cord. Because this kit wires your Jeep Wrangler into a combined system with the RV, you will also need a brake light relay like Item # RM-88400.

A high-low hitch adapter may also be needed to keep your vehicle fairly level while being flat towed. A "safe zone" of 3 inches above or 3 inches below level must be maintained while towing a vehicle. High-low adapters provide necessary rise or drop to get into the "safe zone". I have attached a link to our available selections.

Finally, the SMI Stay-In-Play Braking System Item # SM99251 is a great proportional braking system that has a convenient one time set-up.

Again, before towing your 2017 Jeep Wrangler, check your vehicle owner's manual for suggestions and recommendations.
