Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys With Dana 44 Axle  

Updated 04/10/2025 | Published 04/01/2025

Question:

Could you help me establish as parts list to flat tow a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Willy’s Wheeler with a manual transmission? I think this model has a Dana 44 rear axle, so I would appreciate it if you could confirm that you’ve equipped this model for flat towing before. I haven’t found any examples of people flat towing this specific model since it’s a little rare.

Hey Will! You can flat tow your 2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys with a Dana 44 axle as long as you have a two-speed transfer case. Make sure to check your owner's manual to verify this information. Does it have the standard bumper on the front? Pictures look like it has the standard factory bumper. The parts will be the same regardless of the edition. I recommend the following:

-Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521448-5 (assuming standard factory bumper)

-Roadmaster Falcon 3HD Tow Bar # RM27NQ

-Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables # RM-645

-Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267

-Roadmaster Battery Disconnect for Towed Vehicle w/ Flat Tow Brake System # RM-766

-Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Flat Tow Brake System # HM39524

The only other thing you may need is a high-low adapter. I attached a help article below which explains how to measure and choose the right adapter for your setup. If you need anything else feel free to reach out in the comments below.

@RobinH Would the parts list you provided be the same for a 2013 Wrangler Unlimited Sport with an automatic transmission?
