Expert Reply:
Just the part number Dareld. The Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System BRK2022 is our item # BLU37TR. We use different part numbers for inventory purposes. It's a common practice in online retail.
It looks like you're setting up a flat tow for a 2006 Jeep TJ. Here are the rest of the parts you'll need:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates item # e74ZR
Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM-521424-5 - Compatible with the factory standard bumper and double tube bumper.
Please note the item # RM-521424-5 will not fit the TJ models with front leaf springs. We have other options if you do and D-ring mounts if you don't have one of the factory bumpers.
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
If you go with the Blue Ox Patriot item # BLU37TR you will also need the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-88400. This keeps your Jeep's brake signal from overriding the turn signal from your motorhome when you're applying the brakes during a turn. You will also need the 12 Volt Outlet Kit, 20 amps item # RM-9332. This connects directly to your Jeep's battery and powers the braking system.
What kind of bumper does your 2006 TJ have?

Wow. Thanks for the additional info Jarred. I've got an after marked front bumper with D rings and the tow bar set all figured out. I was planning on using the Hopkins part #56202 for wiring up the tow vehicle lights. Do you know if I will still need to use the relay kit?
