The crossbar-style hidden brackets attach to your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar. The visible portions of the brackets can be removed when you are not towing.


Features:

  • Hidden bracket design - drawbars are easily removable via 2 pins
    • Improved aesthetics compared with standard brackets
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding required

The square drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with hitch pins. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible. On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

  • Base Plate Recommendation to Flat Tow 2004 Lexus GX 470 with Roadmaster Nighthawk
    The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar part # RM-677 is a really great tow bar and all you'd need to flat tow your 2004 Lexus GX 470 with it would be the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 1168-1 which is a confirmed fit. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-152, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round...

  • Can a 2004 Lexus GX470 Be Flat-Towed Behind a Motorhome
    The 2004 Lexus GX470 can be flat-towed behind a motorhome with all four wheels down. That said, in order to do so you will need to obtain a driveshaft disconnect coupling from a third party which is what allows the vehicle to be flat-towed without damage.

  • Availability of etrailer brand Base Plate Kit for 04 4Runner and 05 Odyssey
    etrailer does not make a base plate kit for your Toyota or Honda, but the Roadmaster # 1168-1 base plate kit will fit both vehicles. etrailer does make the # E64ZR heavy duty tow bar to work with that Roadmaster base plate. If you want, you can email me back with your towing specifics if you need additional parts like a high/low adapter, safety cables, tow bar wiring kits, supplemental braking, and additional electrical parts that may be needed.
