Heavy duty bracket for quick release tow bar pins



by:

These are perfect and worked great for hauling our 98 Jeep Wrangler behind our motorhome. The husband built a bumper and then added these brackets!



by:

These are exactly what I needed for my application. They are heavy duty, including the mounting hardware. The nuts seemed a little on the tight side, and took some wrenching to get on, but I assume they will not loosen easily as well. I used 1/5” thick 4” OC backer plates to strengthen the area between the unibody, so it was very handy to have the exact dimensions from the listing be correct. These will be dual function, to allow a tow bar to attached to a Honda Acty; but also as the basis to mount a “bumper” that will attach a snow plow and winch to the Japanese mini truck.



by:

Nice heavy construction, will work just fine.



by:

Extra packaging made all the difference. These are heavy duty brackets.

Trouble free. Attached to frame of my JT jeep at tow hooks with minimal fabrication. Handy for me. Heavy duty. Good quality welds.

@David Glad to hear that, David! Have you taken your Jeep anywhere cool yet?


by:

Used these to pull an old 2 1/2 ton pickup to the house. Worked great and fit perfect to my tow bar. It's been well fabricated and held strong when I pull the old flat tired pickup out of its rut. Will be using these quite often.



by:

As RVers, I was given a used 5000lb rated adjustable tow bar still in good condition. Only thing missing was the bumper brackets to connect tow bar to the tag-along vehicles front bumper. OK, where to find those? Internet search brought me to etrailer. I could find tow bars but needed parts, so I called Customer Service for help. I described what I was looking for and without pause etrailer gave me the part number #C19748. Being universal, I believe these brackets work with many different brands of tow bars as most all appear to be about the same dimensions. It fits mine. Thanks etrailer.

Hello Patrick @ etrailer, The C19748 brackets completed my tow bar installation and have and are serving us well. Also, as for a tagalong vehicle to be safe while being towed, we installed BrakeBuddy. Cheers. Harry

@Harry Great to hear you got that installation completed and are enjoying it! It is definitely recommended to use a braking system, and you cannot go wrong with a Brake Buddy. Glad to hear its all working well, safe travels!

  • Availability Of Base Plate For 1986 Toyota Land Cruiser
    Hello John, thanks for reaching out. There are no custom base plates made for the 1986 Toyota land Cruiser, so the only option would be a universal option like the Universal Bumper Brackets for Curt Adjustable Tow Bar # C19748. These can be mounted to any flat metal section of the vehicles bumper. Modification will be required for most applications. This will work with the Nighthawk tow bar as long as the swivel collars on your tow bar are the Roadmaster standard 2" wide. Then you can...

  • Is Roadmaster Replacement Swivel Collar a Fit for the Curt Universal Bumper Brackets
    The Curt Universal Bumper Brackets # C19748 measure 2" inside the brackets so yes, the Roadmaster Replacement Swivel Collar for Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-9200-4 will fit between those brackets. If you don't already have the pins to secure the tow bar to the bumper brackets then you'll need part # C19746-2 as well. It is worth noting that your Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 already has these swivel collars installed. All you have to do is disconnect them from the quick-disconnect adapter and you...

  • 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,...

  • Baseplate for 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum
    Hey David! No, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2668 will not fit your 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum. That kit is for an Explorer, but only for certain models from 2016-2019. After looking through our inventory as well as multiple manufacturers, I can confirm there is not a baseplate kit available specifically for the 2026 Ford Explorer available. If you have an immediate need to flat tow with your Explorer, you will need to use the Universal Bumper Brackets for Curt Adjustable Tow Bar #...

  • Could Curt Bolt On Base Plate Kit # C19748 Fit 1998 Nissan Frontier
    The Curt # C19748 is designed to attach to a steel front bumper but doesn't have a specific fitguide. I looked up pictures of your 1998 Nissan Frontier and found that the upper portion of the bumper is steel so that would be where you'd most likely be able to attach it. A much better option though would be a base plate kit that attaches directly to the frame of the truck like the Roadmaster kit part # 327-1.
