I may have another option for you. But the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948 will not work for your 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with aftermarket winch bumper. Currently the only option that may work for you (depending on your bumper) is the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts # RM-035-1 (1" thick) or # RM-035 (3/4" thick), these are D-ring adpaters for Off-road bumpers and are currently the only potential option we have for an aftermarket bumper with a winch.

These would work with the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676 which would also provide the needed safety cables.

You would also need tow bar wiring like the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 and a supplemental braking system like the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR.
