First you will need the Roadmaster Base Plate # RM-521453-5 for your 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. This will fit with either the plastic or steel factory bumpers. Do note that you may need a High-Low Adapter like the 4" Adapter # RM-048-4 to maintain 3" of level from your tow vehicle to the Jeep. We have other size adapters to ensure you get the bars as level as possible. The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676 have an aluminum construction and channels to keep the wiring and safety cables from dragging on the ground while towing. This with being made in the USA and a lifetime warranty ensure a reliable product you can count on.

The RoadMaster Nighthawk All Terrain Towing Combo Kit # RM-9284-2 contains the wiring, covers, lube and locks needed for your Jeep. In the event your Wrangler has the ParkSense Proximity system you will need to use the Smart Diodes # RO54FR in place of the ones in the towing kit above. A Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 will ensure your battery does not get drained by the supplemental braking system.

If you plan on towing different vehicles a portable braking system like the Blue Ox # BLU37TR works best so you will not need a different system for each flat towed vehicle. A 12-Volt Outlet # RM-9332 is needed on your Jeep as the factory outlet will not have power when flat towed.

The Demco Air Force One # DM26VR and Stay-IN-Play # DM86VR are the simplest and most reliable mounted braking systems available. The Air Force One is for motorhomes with air brakes as it ties into the air lines to control the brakes on the Jeep. Otherwise the Stay-IN-Play is for motorhomes with hydraulic brakes.
