Question:

Expert Reply:

Since you already have the Blue Ox Aventa ll Tow Bar you will want the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1138. This base plate kit is custom fit for the 2017 Jeep Cherokee Overland. The removable arms will have the front end of your Jeep looking as close to factory as possible when you aren't flat towing your vehicle.

I have listed some other parts you will need to flat tow your Jeep below along with any installation videos we may have.
