Wrangler base plate

Well after 15 years of pulling around my 01 Wrangler I'm looking for a newer one.
Have my eye on a 2015 4door Sahara. For a little more $ I can change out stock number and use the d hook spot for tabs.
Anyone out there using This bumper? Or something similar.


  • Very similar to my set up. We tow with the Ready Brute system. No problems so far.
  • I'm towing a Wrangler with a three inch lift and 37" tires using a Blue Ox tow bar. The attachment point on the wrangler is a full 3 inches higher than the attachment point to the coach. I am getting quite a bit of sway with the jeep attached at 60 mph, is it possibly the angle of the towbar causing that? I already have a 12 inch raised receiver hitch piece on the motorhome to get it within 3 inches of the jeep height. Everything with the hitch is good and tight, there is no play in the receiver.
  • mike brez - keep us in the loop.

    Shultzy, which bumper are you using?
  • It’s a Rock Hard receiver bumper. Needed a 2 inch receiver in the front for a Home Plow.

    Just looked at the hard rock and LoD makes the one I posted look like a bargain.
    I'm using $50.00 brackets now.



    Again, where can I find them?
  • Sorry missed that :R
    Not shure were I got them but it was from a jeep accessory dealer on the web.
    I purchased them 14 years ago and they are awesome
