This classic setup uses fixed draw bars that bolt securely to the chassis, keeping the connection steady mile after mile. The steel build spreads towing forces evenly to help minimize stress on the suspension. Even without a crossbar, the hidden reinforcement keeps everything sturdy so you can rely on it during long hauls.
When you’re not towing, the small, visible tabs stay low-profile and tidy. The included tab covers snap right on to keep out dirt and debris while protecting your shins from bumps. The result is a clean look with no bulky brackets or crossbars sticking out from the front end.
This kit is built for people who like to get things done themselves. It bolts directly to the vehicle’s chassis, so there’s no welding required. All instructions and hardware come in the box, making it a straightforward bolt-on project you can handle over a weekend with standard tools.
You don’t have to start from scratch if you already have a tow bar you like. This base plate works with all Demco tow bars and can be adapted for use with other manufacturers using the correct adapter (sold separately). The distance between brackets is 24", so you can plan your tow setup confidently. An electrical bracket is included to mount a round connector plug for neat and easy wiring hookups.

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

I am very sorry to hear this Rick, very frustrating to order something, try to install, and have it not work. I reached out to Demco with your review, and this is what they had to say: "A couple of things here. 1.) Bolts hitting the frame: The 9518112 is a baseplate designed for 1996 and prior Jeep and Jeep CJ with the factory bumper. That appears to be an aftermarket bumper that the 9518112 was not designed for. Had someone phoned, we could have advised a different baseplate. 2.) Fitment: The pieces are powder coated with paint. On rare occasions, there is too much paint on the clevis. Had someone phoned, we would have advised taking some fine grit sandpaper and lightly sand on both sides of the clevis, and it would fit right into the baseplate."
