For your 2016 Jeep Wrangler I really like the rugged and durable look of the Rampage Mass Articulation Front Recovery Bumper # RA88509. The bumper features D-rings to let you perform recovery operations, a winch plate for simple winch mounting, and integrated receptacles to let you relocate your factory fog lights if you want to.

None of our aftermarket bumpers including the Rampage Mass Articulation Bumper are designed to be attached directly to a tow bar for flat towing applications, however we have confirmed that this particular bumper can be used with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1134 which will allow you to use it for this purpose.

This base plate kit is compatible with Blue Ox tow bars such as the excellent Alpha # BX7380 that features a self-aligning design for easy hookup and included safety cables. I have attached a short video demonstration that you can check out as well.
