We tow a 2010 2 door Wrangler... great vehicle to tow.
General rule for Jeep - must be 4WD with ability to place transfer case in Neutral to be able to flat tow. (Owners manual rules here - but in the Wrangler family - 2WD cannot be flat towed.)
Many choices out there for tow bars. As the price goes up, the ability to connect/disconnect with vehicles uneven / not lined up appears...
Cheaper tow bars require both cars to be level and perfectly lined up (angle and distance). More expensive have arms that slide/turn to match any (reasonable) angle - then lock when you start towing - and a lever release that allows them to move again for disconnect.
I use the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain. Roadmaster and Blue Ox are probably the two most popular.
I would also recommend a supplemental braking system - again many choices - from drop in when needed to permanent install. All around $1000 it seems - install can push a permanent system higher depending on what you do yourself and the deal you get.
I use Roadmaster Invisibrake (permanent install).
My typical comment has been I'm towing a $40,000 car with a $100,000 MH (give or take) - don't skimp on what keeps them from colliding...
