If you want your setup to keep a factory look when you’re not towing, this base plate does the trick. The invisible design leaves no obtrusive crossbar or bulky brackets, and the tabs stay on your tow bar so nothing sticks out from the bumper. Snap-in high-density polyethylene covers keep dirt and debris out of the base plate receivers, making it easier to slide the arms in and out without seizing.
The twist-lock attachment makes connecting quick and solid. Each arm slides into the receiver, twists to engage, and locks in place with a pull pin for extra security. When you’re done towing, just pull the pin, twist, and remove the arm. It’s an easy process whether you’re hitching up solo or aligning in tight spaces. The distance between brackets is 19-1/2" and bracket height is 18", so you can plan your tow bar alignment right where it needs to be.
This base plate bolts directly to the chassis—no welding required. The sturdy, dependable design spreads towing forces evenly to help minimize stress on your vehicle’s suspension. It’s built from durable steel to handle long hauls and countless hook-ups while maintaining solid alignment and confidence mile after mile.
Already have a tow bar setup you like? You’re covered. This base plate is compatible with Demco, etrailer, and Blue Ox tow bars without an adapter. If you’re running Roadmaster tow bars, just add the right adapter—e98983, e98984, e98979, or e98981 (sold separately). It even includes an electrical bracket so you can mount a round connector plug up front for a clean wiring setup.
If you’re handy, this is a straightforward weekend project. It uses a simple bolt-on installation with all hardware included—no need for welding or fabrication. With clear instructions and an adaptable design, it’s easy for do-it-yourselfers to get this base plate mounted securely and ready for the road.

Still working perfectly. Towed the jeep about 2000 miles from WA State down to Disneyland and then to Las Vegas and back. Plus dozens of camping trips.
