Hi Shawn!

I see you placed an order already (and you picked some solid parts!), but I still wanted to get you an answer as it looked like you may need a couple other parts to complete the set up.

The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BLU53FR was a great choice as it fit basically the entire Gladiator line up, but you do need a tow bar that can hook up to it (if you don't already have one, of course). If you don't, the etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox and Curt Base Plates - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 10.5K # e67ZR would pair with it perfectly. It also has plenty of capacity, so it's the one to get in my opinion.

The Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord # RM-15267 works with just about all the Gladiators, but not all of them. This part is not recommended for vehicles with the ParkSense feature. For those models, should use Smart Diode kit # RM63MR. You could just swap out the 4 diodes in the kit you got for the Roadmaster Smart Diodes for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights - Qty 2 # RO54FR as well, but again, this is only if your Jeep has the ParkSense feature.

The Roadmaster InvisiBrake Flat Tow Brake System - Preset # RM-8700 is one of the best options on the market, but you will need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751490 for it to run properly. This provides a signal to the supplemental braking system when you are in "Tow Mode", so it's a very important part.

So with those additions, your Gladiator will be completely ready for flat towing adventures! ^___^

On that note, where are you headed for the maiden voyage?
