Yup, they are steel cables and at one year they have not rusted in half. Well, ok, they have not rusted at all even at the point where I let one rub on the frame and it chewed an away some of the coating. Good cables which will last as long as I need. I actually moved them from the wrangler i originally installed them on to our new maverick to tow that.



by:

The cable assemblies are well made and a fair price given the quality of the hardware the strength of the splices.

Just received the products I ordered. Both items look excellent. I ordered the RoadMaster High-Low 6" Drop Hitch and the Blue Ox Safety Cables.

Great Safety cables. Very good quality and etrailer always has good prices and their service, support and follow-up is second to none in my opinion. I'm still using the cables after a year and they look good as new. Thank you etrailer.

  • Recommended 4 Pole Harness Mounting Bracket for Blue Ox Baseplate
    I can help you get a mounting bracket on your Blue Ox baseplate for your 4 pole wiring harness. If your baseplate came with the bracket mounting prongs, then you will want to get # RM-A003801. If your baseplate did not come with this bracket then I recommend the Tow Ready # 18144 with the # 18140. You may need longer extension plate like # C57202 to allow the harness to stick far enough from the base plate. The brackets will attach with an included hose clamp. I've linked a video of...

  • How is Length of Base Plate Safety Cables Determined
    The safety cables like the part # BX88207 are designed for securing between the tow vehicle and the base plate kit in the event the connection between the base plate and the vehicle fails. These are 36 inches long and are a common length that works well. I'd be willing to bet this would easily work for you but basically it's the distance from where the base plate kit attaches to the frame hole nearest so you might just check out your vehicle and see what distance would be ideal.

  • Parts Needed for Flat Towing My 2007 PT Cruiser Behind a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban
    Yes, you can use the Tow Ready Adjustable Tow Bar, item # 63180, to tow your 2007 PT Cruiser Turbo convertible. Keep in mind that this tow bar is rated for towing speeds of 45 miles per hour or less. A better tow bar option would be the Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar, # BX7322 , which is designed for towing long distances and more frequently. You will need some other items along with the tow bar to complete your towing setup. First, a base plate kit for the PT Cruiser is needed. The Blue...

  • Replacement Base Plate Safety Cables for Flat Towing a 2002 Honda CR-V
    I have at least one solution for you. I recommend using the Roadmaster 68" Single Hook Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643, since the coiled design will keep them from dragging on the road behind your RV. These cables have a 6000-lbs capacity and should work well for your 2002 Honda CR-V. If you actually need the cables that attach to the base plates around the frame of your vehicle that normally come with your Blue Ox base plates you'll want to use the Blue Ox Permanent Base Plate Safety Cables...
