Hey Todd, thanks for reaching out!

Here are the parts I recommend using to flat tow your 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sport JL V6:

- Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 (for factory plastic or steel bumper)
- Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676
- Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # HM39VR
- Brake Kit # DM86VR for Motorhome Hydraulic Brakes or Kit # DM26VR for Motorhome Air Brakes
- High-Low Adapter (see attached article - bar height is 20.5")

I really like the Direct-Connect kit and the corresponding tow bar because they are easy to connect to each other and the tow bar comes with LED lighting for other vehicles to see you and safety cables.

Then the Demco brake kits are the best on the market because they are a one-time installation and they are out of the way when not in use.

Attached are some videos for you to check out as well.

Hey Todd, how did your flat towing setup for the Wrangler Sport JL turn out with the Roadmaster and Demco parts? It’d be great to hear how everything worked together on the road. Your update could make it easier for others planning a similar setup.

@JerredH All the components were included as specified. I did have a professional RV outfit install into the jeep, but the installation went very well. Your product was recommended by the RV dealer in addition to your own recommendations that I got from you. We have since sold the jeep and had the whole towing assembly breaking system, etc. changed over to the new 2025 Jeep gladiator and the removal and reinstallation was taken care of in short order also via an outfit in Phoenix that does RV hitch’s and accessories and all that kind of stuff. They were able to tuck things a little bit more out of the way than the first company and it looks totally almost like factory installed. I really like how it works, and we also bought the wireless notifier for the front of the RV that lets us know status of what’s going on with the breaking. You guys sell a great product(s)

Answer 1

Hey Anthony, it's pretty odd but the Curt tow bar wiring kit part #C59HR does not come with a mounting bracket for the 6-way so you would need to also go with the part #C92CR to mount it to the bottom edge of your front bumper.
