Is a Blue Ox BX1142 Baseplate Kit Compatible w/ a 2016 Jeep Wrangler or What Base Plate Kit Is
Question:
My neighbor has an unused BX1142 base plate that she does not want, will it fit my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?

Expert Reply:
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.
I have included a list of the other major parts needed for flat towing your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited below.
Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380, this tow bar also includes the needed safety cables.
Tow Bar Wiring: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System: Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System # BLU37TR with the 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332.
