  I reached out to my tech contact at Roadmaster and he said they don't have what vehicle the 1419-1 fits in their fit guide. They only have that it was listed as obsolete in 2004 so unfortunately I can't help you with that fit. The correct kit for a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee is # 1425-1.

• Does The Roadmaster Baseplate # 1425-1 Fit A 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
