Simple, Hidden Design

Blue Ox Base Plate With Arms AttachedBlue Ox Base Plate Arms Removed

This base plate's hidden design creates a clean and seamless look. The bracket arms are easily removable, creating a slick appearance when you're not flat towing. Because the arms can be removed, you also won't have to worry about banging your leg into any protruding arms when you walk by.


Blue Ox Base Plate Removable Arms

Attaching and removing the bracket arms is a breeze. To attach the arms to the base plate, simply insert them into the receivers and rotate them until they lock into place. Once you're finished towing and want to remove the arms, pull the pin to disengage the lock, rotate the arms, and remove them from the receivers. Finally, plug up the now empty receivers with the included receiver covers to help keep dirt and debris out of the base plate and provide a finished look.


Guide to Flat Towing

Flat towing your vehicle is much more convenient than using a trailer or a tow dolly. These other options take up much more storage space, leaving you less room both at home and at the campsite. In addition, securing your vehicle to a trailer or tow dolly can be a hassle and more time consuming than hooking up with a tow bar.


There are 5 basic components needed when flat towing a vehicle: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.


Towing Basics

The tow bar links your towed car to your motorhome. It attaches to the custom-fit base plates that install on the frame of your towed car. Safety cables ensure that your towed car does not separate from your motorhome in the event that your tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring allows your towed vehicle's signal lights to sync up with your motorhome's tail lights, which is required by law in most states. Finally, the supplemental braking system - also required in most states - brakes your towed car when the brakes in your motorhome are activated, preventing wear on the motorhome and decreasing braking distance for your entire setup.

  • Blue Ox Base Plate Kit that Fits 2007 Jeep Liberty
    Hey Kathryn, what specifically on the Blue Ox Alpha are you needing to replace? Unlike Roadmaster they don't have as many replacement parts but you can contact them about getting yours rebuilt but that's just not something we can help with. For a Blue Ox base plate kit the correct for your 2007 Jeep Liberty would be the part # BX1122. For a set of magnetic tow lights you could use the part # TL21RK. For coiled safety cables part # RM-643 would work great. And finally, most states...

  • Flat Towing 2006 Jeep Liberty
    Hey Todd! You can get the BX7365 from your neighbor if it is in good shape. However, you should probably have it serviced by Blue Ox to make sure it is in good working order. If it is older than 8 years they recommend replacing it. Looking at the owner's manual, dolly towing is not possible so flat towing is the only option for a 4WD. For a complete setup I recommend the following: -Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1122 -Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380 (if you...

  • Will Blue Ox Aladdin Tow Bar Work with 2006 Jeep Liberty Blue Ox Base Plate Kit?
    Hey James, thanks for reaching out! Yes, the (discontinued) Blue Ox Aladdin Tow Bar BX4325 will work with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1122 for your 2006 Jeep Liberty. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.

  • Identifying Base Plate Tow Assembly On A 2006 Jeep Liberty
    Thank you for the pictures. It appears you have a Blue Ox brand base plate on your 2006 Jeep Liberty. It is likely the same as our part number # BX1122. It should have come with two silver removable arms. If you do not have these already, we offer them with part # BLU37XR. These arms are what the tow bar will attach to. With that you can use any Blue Ox compatible tow bar. My recommendation is the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR which is a 6,000 lb rated...

    The correct Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for a 2006 Jeep Liberty is part # BX1122 and the correct Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for a 2004 Jeep Liberty is part # BX1119. The two are not the same and not cross-compatible due to changes in the front end of the vehicle.

  • Recovery Point for 2006 Jeep Liberty with Blue Ox Base Plate Kit
    On the Blue Ox base plate kit that fits your 2006 Jeep Liberty # BX1122 there are tabs that are designed for the safety chain setup of the tow bar setup to attach to. Those could be used as a recovery point in an emergency but there aren't any recovery loops designed to attach in place of the removable arms.

    Roadmaster Tow Bar adapter # RM-031 is only compatible with Blackhawk, Falcon, or Sterling tow bars. There actually isn't an adapter that will fit the Stowmaster tow bar. You can replace the tow bar using the Blue Ox Adventurer # BX7322. This tow bar is compatible with Blue Ox base plates # BX1122 for your 2006 Jeep Liberty. If you do not already have a set of safety cables you will need some, # RM-643. In addition to the base plates, tow bar, and safety cables you will also need a lighting...

    The Tow Ready # 63180 tow bar you referenced could be used on a 2006 Liberty, but you would be limited to towing at a maximum of 45 mph. In order to be able to tow at normal highway speeds, you would need a standard tow bar like the Blue Ox Alpha, part # BX7380. The tow bar includes the necessary safety cables, but you will also need a base plate kit like the Blue Ox # BX1122 to provide an attachment point on the vehicle for the tow bar, a lighting solution like the Hopkins # HM56203 that...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Jeep Liberty Behind a Motor Home

The most popular of these is the Avail. It also comes with safety cables so you would not have to add any. You will also need a lighting solution to flat tow the vehicle. I recommend the bulb and socket kit # RM-155. It will bypass the vehicle wiring so you will not have to splice into it. Most states...

Using Blue Ox base plates # BX1122 on your 2006 Jeep Liberty you will have a width of 20 inches which is within the range of the tow bar. This tow bar is rated for 5,000 pounds. Once loaded your Jeep Liberty could potentially weigh more than this given that the curb weight of the vehicle is listed at about 4,000 pounds depending on the model. You will need to stay...

  • Blue Ox Base Plate Kit and Tow Bar Wiring Recommendation for a 2007 Jeep Liberty
    The correct Blue Ox base plate kit for your 2007 Jeep Liberty is the part # BX1122. Sounds like you already have a tow bar and all you need is wiring. Which for that I would recommend the Hopkins Tow Bar Wiring Kit part # HM56203. This will plug in line with your Liberty's taillight wiring harness and will allow your motorhome to activate the taillights.

  • Compatibility of Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar With # BX1122 Base Plate Kit for 2005 Jeep Liberty
    The Blue Ox Adventurer tow bar, part # BX7322 has arms that can adjust so they'll fit base plate brackets that are between 16-34 inches apart. Since the # BX1122 base plate brackets are 20 inches apart, they are compatible and would work just fine. Just be aware that the Adventurer is rated for 5000 lbs. Some models of the Jeep Liberty can weigh above 4000 lbs, so you'll need to be careful about the weight of any gear you carry in the Liberty, if any. To complete your set-up, you'll also...
