On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs, as well.

2019 Chevrolet Equinox

The Jeep project went very well everything fit great and worked well. I really love Roadmaster products and quality and your company is the best place to purchase them. I sold the Jeep and replaced it with a new 2019 Chevy Equinox 2.0 L AWD and just purchased and installed the following items from you and installed them, RM-156-25 & RM-156-75 Battery Charge Line Kit, RM-146-7 Flex Coil Kit, RM-523193-4 EZ4 Plate Kit, RM-88333 Custom Seat Adapter, RM-751489 Stop Light Switch Kit and a RM-98160 Second Vehicle Brake Kit w/brakeaway. All these parts were in stock and arrived quickly and normal with you people, I really enjoy the o-line vidios as I do all my own installs. Thank you so much for your great service.
I will attach pictures of my install, you will see how I was able to fab a bracket and attach it to the existing mount on the base plate to mount the brakeaway switch and the air connection for the brake system.
I also fabricated a tail light bar as I didn't want to use mag-lights or splice into the factory lights and bulbs installed into the lights would not work as the factory brake lights will come on when the brake system is applyed and the turn siginals would not be visable.
Thanks for all you do, I would and do recommend you people to everyone who needs your products. Rob

Everything is working great, I installed a base plate kit, battery charging kit, stop light switch kit, second vehicle air brake kit w brakeaway and seat adapter on our 2019 Chevy Equinox and towed it about 14000 miles behind our motor home this past year and everything worked perfect not a problem with any product. These are great products, everything fit perfectly and performed perfectly. Thank you for great service and great products. Rob

I am not quick to review a product, it's been over a year since I purchased and install this hitch.
After using this for a year, I found this to be excellent.
Absolutely no problems.
My wife and I installed it with no problems at all,,, easy to do.
The videos was detailed, letting feel comfortable in doing the job.

Sadly, selling the vehicle,, now we don't have it any longer.
However,,,
With our new vehicle, I am again going to purchase from this same company.
This fit our 2004 Jeep Wrangler X

2001 Jeep Wrangler

well I finally put my tow bar base plate on. I'm 82 years old so I had my doubts as to weather I could do this so I checked out a location that could have one this job for me but they wanted a hundred and fifteen dollars an hour labor so I said to hell with that . I looked at the directions that you sent with the Base Plate and said to myself, I can do this. Well I did it. Your instructions were dead on and I had no problem at all, In fact I hade a little fun doing it. Thanks a lot It's going to be great.

The base plate was as described, very good quality product. Install was easy, instructions were easy to follow. I had to call during install to clear up a question, they did not have the answer but called roadmaster while I waited on the phone and got me an answer. Very pleased with product, service and follow through.

I received expert advice on the selection of the base plate needed for my Jeep Wrangler. The product came in a timely fashion and was in great shape when I opened the box. The instructions that came with it gave step by step instructions and great pictures. I cannot think of anything that I was disappointed with.

    I do have all of the parts needed to flat-tow a 2006 Jeep Wrangler however, you cannot attach to a Bestop bumper as this is not rated for flat-towing according to Bestop. Instead, you'll need to install the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-521424-4 which keep in mind is designed for the factory front bumper so modifications or replacement may be needed.Then you can use these base plates with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520.

    Unfortunately, there is not an adapter available that will allow you to use the Stowmaster 5000 tow bar with a set of Blue Ox base plates. This means that you also would not be able to use the Roadmaster Guardian 2nd Vehicle Kit, # RM-4000-1, that you referenced. You have two options. First, if you want stay with your Stowmaster tow bar you could go with a set of Roadmaster base plates on your 1997 Jeep Wrangler.

    I am happy to help you find the parts to flat tow your 2004 Jeep Wrangler. The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-521424-5 is a better option for a base plate compared to the Roadmaster # RM-521424-4 that you referenced because the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit doesn't require you to leave the crossbar of your tow bar on the base plate to use the quick disconnect like the slightly older version. The Direct-Connect is a bit easier to use. I attached a video that...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2006 Jeep Wrangler
    As long as the bumper on your 2006 Jeep Wrangler is rated for towing your vehicle you could use the # C19748 which comes with hardware to mount to it. With this kit you want to use the Curt tow bar # C19745. A frame mounted base plate kit would be a better option that we know will work though. For that the Roadmaster EZ4 kit part # RM-521424-4 would be a great option. And then for a tow bar the part # RM-520 plus the safety cables part # RM-643. For lighting you can use the diode kit,...

  • Tow Bar and Accessories for Flat Towing a 2004 Jeep Wrangler Behind Motorhome
    You can use a tow bar like the Tow Ready # 63180 to tow your 2004 Wrangler, but keep in mind, the tow bar is NOT rated for speeds above 45 mph, so I'd recommend a different setup. In order to run at highway speeds, I recommend using a tow bar like the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, part # RM-520 and base plate kit # RM-521424-4 which is compatible with OEM double tube bumpers. You will also need a set of safety cables like # RM-643. The Wrangler will also need to be wired for towing. There...

If you have an off-road bumper with the 1-inch D-Ring bumper mounts then the base plates for your Jeep are part # RM-035-1, and if you have the off-road bumper with 3/4-inch D-ring bumper mounts the base plates you can use are part # RM-035.

  • Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Recommendation for 2004 Jeep Wrangler
    We have a similar base plate kit to the one you mentioned available for your 2004 Jeep Wrangler but that specific base plate kit is no longer available. Instead you'd want the Roadmaster EZ4 kit part # RM-521424-4 which is similar and would use the same style of connection as the XL kit you mentioned. You'll need to have a Roadmaster tow bar like the Falcon part # RM-520 or an adapter like what you see at the attached link below.

  • Can a Jeep Wrangler be Flat Towed by the Front Bumper
    I have a solution for you, however, I would not recommend mounting a tow bar directly to a bumper on a Jeep, whether it is OEM or an aftermarket bumper. Jeep does not recommend towing the Wrangler with the OEM bumper because it was not designed to pull the weight of the vehicle. Also, mounting a tow bar to a bumper would require drilling. I spoke with my contact at Pavement Ends and she said drilling into this bumper would void the warranty and they do not recommend using it to tow the...
