To remove, simply twist the arms back and pull them out. 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.

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

2004 JeepWrangler
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

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.

- Is Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Available without Arms?The Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521424-5 for a 1997-2006 Jeep TJ or Wrangler with double tube or U-channel bumper does not come without the arms.

If you take a look at the linked instructions you can see that the brackets for this kit will install on your Jeep's frame and that's where the drilling will take place to install the brackets.
view full answer... - Preparation Procedure for Flat Towing 2009 Jeep Wrangler with Manual TransmissionWhen the transfer case of your 2009 Jeep Wrangler with manual transmission is placed into the Neutral the driveshaft will be disengaged from the powertrain. This will allow the vehicle to move with all wheels down despite the transmission position. The owner's manual does not specify which gear to use, as you noted, but most owner's put the Jeep's manual transmission into 2nd or 3rd gear based on what I read online. You might contact a local Jeep dealer with your Wrangler's VIN which...
view full answer... - What Gear Should The Transmission Of A 2005 Jeep Wrangler Be Placed While Flat TowingThere isn't a specific gear listed by Jeep to place your 2005 Jeep Wrangler Sport manual transmission in while flat towing it. Most Jeep owners prefer either 2nd or 3rd gear so it's really just up to your personal preference. The point of this is to keep the transmission components lubed while flat towing your vehicle.

This base plate kit is designed to fit models that do not have front leaf springs. This kit will also not fit if your Jeep has a right-hand drive/steering set up.

view full answer... - Will the MX Base Plate Kit 1017-3 Work On a 2004 Jeep Wrangler with a Falcon 5250 Tow BarI have a base plate option for you, but unfortunately we do not have an MX base plate kit designed for the 2004 Jeep Wrangler. The correct base plate kit is the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-521424-4. With the EZ4 base plate kit you will need to use the cross bar and if you want to remove the brackets from the car when not towed you will need the Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit, item # RM-201.

The # RM-037 adapter is compatible with most Roadmaster base plates, except the Roadmaster EX5, MX, or MS series base plate brackets. If you do not have a set of Roadmaster base plates, then I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit, # RM-521424-4, if you have the U-channel bumper...
view full answer... - Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Recommendation for 2004 Jeep WranglerWe 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.
view full answer... - Are EZ5 Base Plate Arms Compatible with EZ4 Base Plate Kit for a 2001 Jeep WranglerI spoke with my contact at Roadmaster who said that the arms from the EZ5 are compatible with your Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-521424-4 on your 2001 Jeep Wrangler. Simply fill out the form on the product page # RM-ARMS and be sure to note that you would like the EZ5 arms C002383 (for the driver side) and C002384 (for the passenger side). I also confirmed with my contact that the EZ5 arms are compatible with the Falcon 5250 tow bar that you currently have.
view full answer... - Base Plate Recommendation for 2000 Jeep Wrangler for Stowmaster Tow BarFor your 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport the Roadmaster base plate kit part # RM-521424-4 is a confirmed fit and would work well with your Stowmaster 5000 # RM-501.
view full answer... - Which Base Plates for 2006 Jeep Wrangler and Roadmaster 5250 Tow BarThe Roadmaster 5250 is the original Falcon tow bar, so it will still work with most Roadmaster base plates, including the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521424-4. These are the base plates I recommend using with your Falcon on your 2004 Jeep TJ Rubicon edition. This will work with most bumpers on the Jeep. If you also need a tow bar wiring kit for the Jeep I recommend using the Roadmaster Hy-Power Diode Kit # RM-154. This is a 4 way wiring harness that controls...

- Base Plates and Tow Bar Wiring for 1997 Jeep WranglerNeither the 1559-1 nor the 1419-7 base plate kits will work for your 1997 Jeep Wrangler, I'm sorry to say. We do offer kits that will work, though. I'd recommend the # RM-521424-4 base plate kit, which fits the standard or double-tube bumper, unless you have front leaf springs. If your Wrangler does have front leaf springs, let me know and we can look into another solution. For wiring, I'd recommend a diode system like # RM-15267, you can see an installation video by clicking the provided...
view full answer... - Recommended Components Needed To Flat Tow a 2006 Jeep WranglerFor your 2006 Jeep Wrangler, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit, # RM-521424-5. This base plate kit has hidden mounting brackets and removable drawbars to give your Jeep clean and invisible look when not hooked up to your RV. 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 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643....
view full answer... - Tow Bar Base Plates for 1998 Jeep WranglerI believe you are referring to the base plates. The base plates are vehicle-specific, and provide the mounting point on the vehicle for the tow bar. For the 1998 Jeep Wrangler, you would need part # RM-521424-4 if you have the Rubicon, Unlimited, or Double Tube bumper. If your Wrangler has the U-Channel bumper, you would use part # 1417-1.
view full answer... - Does Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit For 2001 Jeep Wrangler Work With Any Tow BarSo the answer is yes, your 2001 Jeep Wrangler will definitely be able to use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-521424-4. The issue is simply the exact tow bar you have, which you didn't mention; the tow bar is compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars, and the majority of them have the ability to attach to crossbar-style base plates. The only thing you may need, if you have one that only uses the direct connect, like the Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676, is a crossbar assembly,...
view full answer... - Crossbar and Quick Disconnect Recommendation for Stowmaster Tow Bar and Roadmaster Base Plate KitSounds like what you are looking for a quick disconnect setup that can be used with your current Stowmaster and the base plate kit part # RM-521424-4. So it sounds like you are looking for the part # RM-910012-00 which includes the support bar, a pair of quick disconnects, and 2 pins for your Stowmaster part # RM-501.
