Question:
My neighbor has an unused BX1142 base plate that she does not want, will it fit my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?

No, the Blue Ox BX1142 base plate kit would be the correct kit for a 2020-2021 Jeep Gladiator. It would not fit your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
For a baseplate kit that fits your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, you can use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1126. This fits the standard bumper with no winches or guards. If you have an alternate bumper style, please let me know and I can recommend the correct base plate kit.
