You will need a base plate. I recommend theBlue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1139. I like its hidden design, it gives it a seamless clean look and the brackets won't stick out past the nose of your Jeep.
Now you need a Tow bar, I recommend the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # e47ZR, It is an easy hook up with telescopic self supporting arms and built in safety cables.
Next in line will be the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional # BLU37TR. I recommend the portable braking systems because you do not have to permanently modify your vehicle and in the future if/when you get a new vehicle you won't have to worry about a new system or trying to remove a permanent one.
You may need a rise/fall adapter to keep you tow bar and Jeep level. You want your hitch receiver opening and your base plate to be within 3 inches of each other. This will help prevent premature wear and damage on your suspension system. I recommend the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 4" Rise/Drop - 6K GTW, 200 lbs TW # RM-070.
After that you're going to need a wiring kit for your lights. I recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154. This will link your motor home lights to your Jeep lights and keep them synchronized.
