I'm in the same boat: we tow our 2017 JKU using a Blue Ox base plate connected to an NSA Ready Brute Elite tow bar. I'm trying to decide if I want to put a Blue Ox base plate on the JT, or go with an appropriate bumper with Blue Ox adapters. I know the base plate would be in the $450 range - don't know how much it would cost for a good bumper and adapters. In either case I need to add the brake cables for the Ready Brute Elite tow bar.

Same issue. Went wit a rock hard front bumper with built in blue ox tow tabs and lv it. The bumper is winged so better front tire clearance as well

I went with the Maximus-3 towing brackets. They just arrived after a month on backorder. I don't like the way the other base plates hang down so low with a crossbar (Blue Ox, Demco, Roadmaster). On my previous JK, I used the Currie Rockjock towbar mount/skid plate. I loved it. It kept the mount below the bumper, but protected. That way I didn't have to use as big of a hitch riser on my lifted Jeep, the only thing I don't like about the bumper options. I see now that Currie makes the same thing for the JL/JT. I haven't really checked it out. Too late anyway, I'll be setting up the Maximus system in the next few days.
