Question:

Expert Reply:

I have a solution for you but you will need to use a different tow bar like the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain tow bar item # RM-522. The etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar Item # e47ZR is not able to be used with the 1" D-ring adapter item # RM-035-1 you will need to flat tow your 2005 Jeep TJ.

I have listed some other parts you will need to flat tow your Jeep below.

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267

Safety Chains - RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables item # RM-643

Charge Line - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25

Supplemental Braking System - Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System item # RM-8700

High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.

You will want to verify with your bumper manufacturer to confirm it is rated to be flat towed.
