Hey George, we can definitely help you flat tow your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL with a Barricade Adventure HD Front Bumper. Since your bumper has D-rings on the front of it you would need to go with a base plate kit/tow bar adapter that would attach to the D-rings like the # RM-035-1 if they are 1 inch thick or the # RM-035 if they are 3/4 inch thick. This is because there isn't a frame mounted base plate we know will work with the bumper. See attached picture.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 3HD, # RM27NQ. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect.
For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers for the tow bar we have the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain kit part # RM-9243-1 which comes with all of that as one part number. The diode kit that comes with this allows you to splice into the taillight wiring so that your RV controls the vehicle taillights and does not require drilling into the taillight housings. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, 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.
Do you have any big trips planned? Have you flat towed before?
