Yes, when flat towing your Jeep Wrangler or any vehicle with all 4 wheels on the ground, the vehicle's odometer will continue to keep track of the miles just as if you were driving it.
In order to flat tow your Jeep, you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, and a supplemental braking system. If you still need some or all of these parts, please let me know what type of bumper you have on the Jeep and I will be happy to make some recommendations. I have also attached an article on flat towing that you might find helpful.
