Yes, you can flat tow your 2017 Jeep Wrangler JK, that has a AEV front bumper, using a Blue Ox #BX1133 Base Plate Kit, as long as your Jeep has the bolt on tabs as shown on page 4 of the Blue Ox installation instructions attached. Most Jeep owners…

Both the Roadmaster and Blue Ox tow bars are great options. But if it was my decision to make I would go with the Blue Ox Avail part #BX7420 as we have found that the Blue Ox tow bars are a little easier to connect and disconnect from. Also this tow…
