Hi Joseph!
The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms # BX1120 will indeed fit your 2001 Jeep Wrangler, but make sure you have either the double tube bumper or the standard factory bumper. This is designed to fit those option.
You will also not need any kind of adapter to attach the Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar - Coupler Style for 2" Ball - Car Mount - 5,000 lbs # BX4330. This comes with the safety cables as well, so you don't need to add those on.
Doe you have the rest of the parts needed to flat tow your Jeep? Like wiring and braking system.
