Wrangler set up to tow

[Davion206]

We are purchasing our first jeep....2010 Wrangler Sport JK, two door, soft top....we already have a Blue Ox tow bar, brake buddy and wireless lights we use on our Colorado. We are questioning if we should get an aftermarket bumper or Blue Ox base plate for the Wrangler. Looking for suggestions.

We decided to go the Blue Ox baseplate route....i

Not shure you have seen THIS thread but I just went through the same thing and went the bumper route.

If it's going to stay on the pavement, I'd just go with the base plates. Less work, and less expense. Biggest reason to avoid them if you're going off road is the potential damage to the base plates.

I have done both and both work and can be done for about the same money, usually just a touch more for the bumper.

Base plates = functional and maintains stock look
Bumper = functional + cool looking

Y-guy, most will be pavemen, unless its a hard surface road to a campground....but, 70 yr old hubby is a kid at heart. He had jeeps in the past when he was younger.

How will you be using your Jeep? Pure pavement or some off-roading?

A Jeep without a winch is...un-American!
