Is this right for you? Product Expert Mike S says:
Designed for use with motor-home-mounted tow bars, the direct-connect brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and remove, and they eliminate the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar on your tow bar. Installs on your vehicle's frame.
Features:
Note: Roadmaster direct-connect base plates will only work with Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2. These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.
The drawbars, or front arms, on this base plate kit are supremely easy to mount and remove. Just insert them into the brackets and twist to lock them in place. To remove each arm, simply tug the built-in pull pin to disengage the lock, twist the arm back and pull it out of the bracket. 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.

This consisted of elongating to frame rail holes and adding an additional hole for the top bolts on the base plate. The inside tabs for the winch plate had to be cut back 3/16” in order to fit inside the Roadmaster base plate brackets. It was a tight fit but with some persuasion the winch plate was installed. Looks great!
I installed the tow brackets on my new 2020 Jeep Wrangler. The instructions were excellent. I had no difficulty installing except I failed to follow one instruction to use supplied bolts to reattach part of the Rock Guard Mount. I used the factory bolts which were slightly larger causing interference with my locking mechanism. Maybe a note on that step would be warranted to make sure folks do not make my mistake which resulted in me basically doing the job twice. Tackle the brakes next.
This is our 2nd tow vehicle with the road master product all is well Not hooked up but ready to go!
Solid and precise, but make sure both attachment points can be inserted and removed before you Locktite everything down. The most difficult step is cutting the metal rock shield.
Great value! Installed myself and performs great! Looks amazing on my 2020 Jeep Gladiator Sport.
Installed just like the videos described and comes with all the hardware needed to complete the installation. There is a hole you will need to measure and mark that the video did not cover.
To be honest, the installation was a little more difficult then I expected. Where the base plate attaches to the frame, the brackets were very tight. It required much more force to install the brackets. However, once installed the bracket is phenomenal. I love the way it looks on my jeep and it is very easy to set up and use. I highly recommend this product
Looks great but unfortunately I will be returning the cross bar. After installation the Roadmaster Direct Connect Base Plate I realized that it is for a different application.
These brackets were easy install and solid performance. Thanks for the great videos that make installation possible and easy for everyone.
Remove the arms and baseplate is hardly noticeable.
Quick turn around. Arrived as scheduled.
Install no problem. Works fine

I have purchased several things from etrailer in the past and so far the products have been well made, a good price and the installation instructions have been through. I would not hesitate to buy more things from them in the future.
