The square drawbars, or front arms, on the XL series base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with hitch pins.

On most vehicles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

- First, you would need the base plates. RoadMaster manufactures one kit that will fit your 2008 Honda CRV and that is part # 1559-1.
Next, you will need a tow bar. I am not sure which tow bar you were wanting. There are Falcon 2, Falcon All Terrain and Blackhawk 2 All Terrain tow bars. The Faclon 2 is part # RM-520 and the Falcon All Terrain is part # RM-522. The Blackhawk 2 All Terrain is part # RM-422 but with a 10,000 pound capacity, it would be overkill for a CR-V.
