Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - 1183-1

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Hitch Pin Attachment
  • Partially Hidden

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
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • Compatible with Roadmaster tow bars with use of quick-disconnect crossbar (910021-00 - sold separately)
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


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.

  • Recommended Complete Flat Tow System for Toyota FJ Cruiser
    For Toyota FJ Cruiser models between 2007 and 2014, I recommend using the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 1183-1. This will give you custom fit brackets that will allow you to bolt them right on with Loctite # LT37420. Then I recommend the following: Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520 Safety Cables # RM-643 Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 Brake-Lite...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Behind an RV Using Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar
    The Roadmaster Sterling tow bar # RM-576 is compatible with all Roadmaster base plates including XL base plates # 1183-1 for the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. The XL base plates will use the quick disconnects that came with the tow bar. It sounds like your Jeep has the EZ5 base plates but that type of set up is not available for the FJ Cruiser. The tow bar already has safety cables and a 7- to 6-Way so what I recommend for wiring on the FJ is # TR118821. You would have to cut off the 4-Way that...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Behind an RV with Stowmaster Tow Bar
    If your 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has the standard factory bumper you can use EZ4 base plates # RM-521448-4. If it is a 10th anniversary addition but does NOT have the American Expedition Vehicles bumper you can use # 1444-1. If it is a MOAB addition OR has the Warn Elite bumper and is NOT a 10th anniversary model you can use # 1439-1. All of these base plates are compatible with the Stowmaster # RM-501 or # RM-504. In addition to the tow bar and base plates you will also need safety...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    The Roadmaster base plate kit part # 1183-1 is a fit for your 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser and is overall easy to install and use. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers for the tow bar...

  • Is Item # 1183-1 Compatible With An After Market Bumper On A 2007 FJ Cruiser
    I contacted Roadmaster and Item # 1183-1 is not compatible with the aftermarket bumper you have on your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Your photo shows your after market bumper has shackle mounts. I would contact the manufacturer and see if the bumper can be used for flat towing. If so I recommend going with Item # RM-520 and Item # RM-035-1 if the shackle mounts are 1" thick and Item # RM-035 if the shackle mounts are 3/4" thick. The D-Ring adapters replace the tabs on the end of each arm on...

  • Will the Roadmaster # 131-15 Base Plate Kit Fit a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    Although the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 131-15 will fit a handful of vehicles, it is not confirmed to fit your 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser. The correct Base Plate Kit for your FJ Cruiser is the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 1183-1 instead. This will work great with the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-422 that you mentioned. Keep in mind that you will also need Safety Cables, Vehicle Tow Bar Wiring, a Supplemental Braking System, and most likely a High-Low...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1998 Jeep Wrangler
    There are base plate kite solutions for your 1998 Jeep Wrangler with aftermarket bumpers (that we don't currently sell) but it really depends on what style you are wanting. I attached a link to this page that has all of the base plate kits we offer for your vehicle. You'd need to select from the drop down menu what bumper you are wanting. For example if you went with a Bulldog Stubby bumper we have the # BX88303 base plate kit that was designed for it. Then you could use the very popular...
