Hi David!
All the mounting hardware is indeed included with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM42FR (see the included picture). You will just need your own tools for the install. Unless you borrow someone else's tools or have someone else install it, that is.
I saw you entered a 2012 Jeep Wrangler into our fit-guide (which this fits), but but wanted to mention that this specific base plate is designed to only be compatible with Wranglers that have the Warn Elite bumper, so just be aware of that. If you have a different bumper, let me know and I can find the correct one for you.
Also, do you have the other flat towing parts picked out already (braking system, wiring, tow bars, safety cable, &c)?

Hey David, Did you end up using the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit with your Jeep Wrangler? I'm curious if the install went smoothly and if you had the Warn Elite bumper. Let me know how it worked out, as it could help others in a similar situation!
