I have been flat towing my 21 for about 2 years now with no issues. I have the factory steel bumper and did not like the look of the standard baseplates so I went with the maximus tow hooks designed for flat towing, the best part is now I have extra recovery hooks when I need them on the trails...
I am looking to do the same with my non amplified 7 inch stock system. My question is for you to add a amp to the stock head unit did you use a PAC adapter for adding the amplifier? If not I would love to know how you added the amp without as it's my understanding that you need that to add a amp.
I flat tow with the ready brute elite with surge brake built in along with the cool tech wire harness. This is a harness that you have to splice (the supplied I instructions are very detailed and make the job easy) into the wires on the passenger side where all the wires run under the kick panel...
I have been towing my jeep for over a year with the cool tech harness and love it. Yes it requires splicing but was very easy to install with the instructions supplied.

If you are close to Buford City I have had friends use Black Bear off-road. He is a small shop but does some amazing work!

I went to pick up my order at Advance and they indeed just try and give me 1 5 quart jug and showed them my order from walmart and he said ok, that is a heck of a deal and got me my 5 additional jugs. I now have enough oil for many oil changes on my motorhome. Heck even if I did have a need now...
I grew up driving on the beach in NJ and as long as you air down to 10-15 psi you will have no issues. NJ has some of the softest sand on the beaches I have come across on a beach.
I also tow my 2021 with the NSA ReadyBrute with surge break along with the CoolTech harness. The harness does have a charge line if you use a electronic breaking system like blue ox, but with the NSA you do not need it as you are not powering anything while towing. I have towed many miles and...
Watching as I am in the same situation and contemplating between 33. & 35's. I like the idea of 35's but living in the North ga area there are plenty of hills and am worried with the 3.73's.
I also flat tow it so that is brought into the mix to make it more complicated.
I flat tow my sport s with the metal Mopar bumper and is the same as your Rubicon bumper. I installed the Maximus tow loops and had to notch the bumper and skid plate. All I needed was a grinder with a cut off wheel and made easy work of the notching. Just be sure to paint the area you cut with...
I have been flat towing my JT for over a year with no issues. I opted to install the cool tech harness, yes I had to splice but believe it is the best as you flip the switch when towing and isolates the rear led tail lights from the jeep eliminating any draw on the jeep electrical system. Never...
I am also trying to decide between 33's and 35's and cannot decide as if I go to 35's I will have to decide on a lift as I am a sport s with 373 gears. I also flat tow behind my class A so that is another thing to consider!
If anyone has any suggestions I am all ears!
Thanks!
Here is an alternative that I have been thinking about for hauling my golf cart when flat towing behind my RV.

Thanks for the links I like the one that is removable even though here in GA we do not require a front plate. I like your thoughts of covering everything to keep the curious from messing with it. I chose that location since I have the Mopar metal bumper and I did not have to drill any additional...
