If you like the look of a clean bumper when you’re not towing, this base plate keeps things tidy. The hidden bracket design sits back on the frame so the front stays uncluttered. Once the drawbars are removed, the brackets are virtually invisible and protected inside the grille area. It’s a simple way to keep your setup strong without anything hanging out front.
You don’t need to fight with pins or alignment every time you hook up. The removable drawbars slide in and twist to lock securely in place. When you’re done towing, just twist again and pull them free using the built-in pull rings. It’s quick, reliable, and gives a solid locked-in feel that makes connecting your tow bar straightforward every time.
This base plate is all about strength and long-term reliability. The computer-cut, all-steel construction delivers exceptional durability while spreading towing forces across the frame. A black powder coat finish resists corrosion so it can handle years of road use without flaking or rusting. It’s a tough setup built for dependable towing mile after mile.
If you like tackling projects yourself, this kit makes it manageable. The base plates mount directly to the frame with no welding required, and everything needed for installation comes in the box—hardware and clear instructions included. Integrated mounting points make it simple to add an electrical connector plug or bracket (sold separately) for a neat, finished look once everything’s installed.
Already using a Roadmaster tow bar? This kit works with Roadmaster models when paired with the quick-disconnect crossbar #910021-00 (sold separately). That flexibility makes it easier to integrate into your existing towing gear without needing a full replacement. It’s a straightforward way to keep using what you already have while upgrading to a cleaner, more hidden mount design.
The drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style series base plate kit are easy to mount and remove. Once removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible. On most automobiles, brackets are mounted within the grille for protection from scrapes and scuffs.

Excellent! We have towed the Grand Cherokee with it for over 17,000 miles since installation, with no operational issues. From NW MT to west coast of WA, to Rockport, TX, to Duluth, MN and back in three separate trips.

they work great. I changed to a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee and had the dealer switch over. Still work perfectly. Using them again in Oct.
