Base Plate for 2014 Jeep Wrangler With 1 D-Ring Bumper Mounts

Question 1

Question:

I have a 2014 Jeep Wrangler 4 door with and after market bumper that has D-ring brackets on it. I have seen some tow bars that hook right to those brackets so there is no need for a mounting plate. The brackets are 1 inch thick and the hole is 1 inch. Do you have anything that will work for that? I also have an older tow bar from my brother-in-law BX7335. Can I buy new connectors for that one?

We have exactly what you need to flat tow your 2014 Jeep Wrangler with an off-road bumper that has 1" D-ring brackets, the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars - 1" Thick # RM-035-1. As the name of the product states, however, they will require a Roadmaster tow bar as there are no adapters to use with a Blue Ox tow bar. For this I highly recommend checking out the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522 because it has long arms that will enable your Jeep to track easily behind your motorhome for a smoother towing experience.

You will also need RoadMaster Safety Cables # RM-643, Wiring Kit # RM-15267, Quick Battery Disconnect # RM-766, and a supplemental braking system. For this I recommend the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 because it is a one-time install so you won't have to constantly activate and deactivate it like you would with a portable system. You will need Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751452 as well in order to ensure a braking system works properly on your Jeep.

You may also need a high-low adapter in order to keep your 2014 Wrangler level, and I've added a link to a help article which shows you how to determine if you need an adapter as well as a link to our selection of adapters.

Additionally, I have added links to instruction manuals, video reviews and installations for you to take a look at.

Question 2

Question:

I saw a video on your website that had a plug and go wire system for the lights on the Jeep. This way there is no splicing wires can I use that system?

There is a plug-in harness you can use on your 2014 Jeep Wrangler, the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56200. Using this means you will not have to splice at all, just like you were wanting.

You can connect it to the 6-pole on your RV by cutting off the 4-way and wiring it to the Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit # RM-146-7.

I have added a link to a video install for you to check out which shows exactly how to do this.

The answer to that depends on how large the lug pin hole (where the lug pin goes through) is on your Jeep's off-road bumper. If it is 7/8" then you can use theBlue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter - 7/8" Pin # BX88357 instead of the Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars # RM-035-1. If the lug pin hole is 1" then you will need to go with the Roadmaster mounts and a new tow bar.
