Question:
Do any of your base plate kits available not require skid plate alteration for the factory steel bumper on my 2021 Jeep wrangler unlimited?

Expert Reply:
Each of the base plates that fit your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (with factory steel bumper) do require the altering or even replacement of the skid plate (also sometimes called a rock guard). The base plate kit I recommend because it will allow the skid plate to be trimmed but not outright replaced is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. I went ahead and linked a video to a 2020 Wrangler model to give you perspective.
In addition to the base plate kit, you will need some additional components to flat tow your vehicle. Here is the recommended setup:
- Tow Bar: Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar with LED Lights # RM-676
- Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154
- Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional
Item # SM99251 or Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motorhomes with Air Brakes # SM99243 (If your motorhome has air brakes)
With this setup, you will be able to safely and securely flat-tow your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited on your motorhome.
