This setup keeps things simple and tidy up front. The Demco Classic Base Plate Kit uses hidden reinforcement and fixed draw bars, so there’s no external crossbar or large brackets hanging out in plain view. Only the base plate tabs are visible, giving your front end a cleaner look while still providing solid attachment points for your tow bar.
You can count on this kit to stay strong mile after mile. Each base plate is constructed of durable steel and designed to spread towing forces evenly across the chassis to help minimize weight on the suspension. It’s a sturdy, dependable design that bolts securely in place with no welding required.
No need for special tools or fabrication work—this is a bolt-on install. The kit includes all necessary hardware and clear instructions so you can get it mounted cleanly and securely. Once installed, the base plates stay put, ready whenever you need to tow.
Already have a favorite tow bar setup? This kit is compatible with all Demco tow bars and can be used with other brands when paired with the right adapter (sold separately). Options include DM9523034 for Blue Ox tow bars, DM9523014 or DM9523023 for certain Roadmaster models, and others as listed in the adapter chart. That means you don’t have to replace your existing gear just to make this system work.
Knowing your mounting points helps everything line up just right. The distance between brackets is 30-3/4" (center to center) and bracket height is 17-1/2". Those precise measurements let you plan your towing setup accurately from the start.

After one year, the base plate kit is still going strong as ever. Nothing has broken or come loose.

After a year, baseplate works great. Changed tow bar to a non-ball type. No baseplate connection issues.

I have had this in operation for a year now and I am still just as happy as I was the first day. Great product.

Hi Don. Per Demco, the # DM9518010 is a fit for the 1998 Jeep Cherokee, unless it has the front skid plate removed or if it's equipped with the up-country suspension or Tow hook pkg.

After a year everything works as it should. I did loose one of the plastic covers because they dont fit good and snug. On a side note, my MH broke down on the expressway and I was able to use the toad to push my MH off the expressway to a safe place. Not sure if any else has done this but it truly was a life saver!
