Hi Thomas!

The base plate I recommend for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with the stock plastic bumper is going to depend on if you are wanting to use the crossbar style or direct connect style your Sterling tow bar can do (it can do either).

Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521453-5
Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521453-4

I personally think the direct connect is easier to hook up and looks better, but it is up to you. I included pictures of both styles in case you weren't sure what each looked like.

Do you have the rest of the parts needed to set up your Jeep for flat towing?

Hey Thomas, did you decide on the direct connect or crossbar style for your Jeep? I'm curious to know how it worked out for you, as it could help others make a choice too.
