The Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit part # 1439-3 is a confirmed fit for the 2013 Jeep Wrangler with the Warn Elite bumper. The kit will accommodate your Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar and comes with all the necessary hardware required for installation.

If you don't already have them you may need the following for a complete flat towing kit.

For lighting I recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, part # RM-154 as it would just plug into your vehicle each time you tow. I have attached a link to a FAQ page on how to wire a vehicle with a diode system and a video of this part being installed on a 2013 Jeep Wrangler.

I would also recommend Roadmaster Safety Cables part # RM-645.

Most states require supplemental braking on the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest to set up and use is the Even Brake # RM-9400 proportional system that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles. A 12 volt power outlet kit # RM-9332 is also recommended.

You will also want to check the vehicle owner's manual for additional information on flat towing the vehicle. Some vehicles require an axle disconnect, drive line disconnect, transmission lube pump, or free wheeling hubs in order to be flat towed.

I have added a helpful article on flat towing for you to check out as well as the installation details for this base plate kit.
