Tow bar for 99 Jeep wrangler
I just bought a 99 jeep wrangler 4x4 manual transmission to tow behind a Jayco Melbourne Motorhome.
The jeep has been towed before b/c it has some sort of bracket on the front bumper.
I thought I could find a tow bar that would just fit on those but now Im thinking that is going to be difficult since I cant seem to find any tow bar online that looks like it would fit on these I dont know if there is something missing on the bracket or I just havent found the tow bar that the previous owner used. (I didnt buy it from the owner who towed it so I cant ask them)
Is there a way to post photos of the mounts on here?
So what tow bar is recommended for 99 jeep wrangler?

You are not limited to Roadmaster tow bar. Other vendors tow bars can have Roadmaster attachment fitted. take a look at thebReadyBrute with built in brake system, good system and bang for the buck.

Those are Roadmaster brackets alright. However they are generally attached to the frame members below the bumper with baseplates. We have a 2004 Wrangler with the same stock bumper. If you take off the brackets and bumper fascia you'll see the back plate is nothing more than a heavy gauge piece of sheet metal.
It may have been towed that way in the past, but I certainly wouldn't advise it. A panic stop could easily cause the bumper to fold.

Thank you all for the information!
Did you all install your own, or have it done? Just curious.
I thought I would just buy a bar to fit on what was on there, but now I have some safety concerns.

I installed my own ( written up here). It is a pretty simple job but I understand it is not for everyone.

stevertx, If I remember right the front bumpers on the TJ's are a pretty heavy steel channel much different than what's on the current JK's.
I would take it to a Roadmaster installer and get there opinion.
