Simple, Hidden Design

Blue Ox Base Plate With Arms AttachedBlue Ox Base Plate Arms Removed

This base plate's hidden design creates a clean and seamless look. The bracket arms are easily removable, creating a slick appearance when you're not flat towing. Because the arms can be removed, you also won't have to worry about banging your leg into any protruding arms when you walk by.


Blue Ox Base Plate Removable Arms

Attaching and removing the bracket arms is a breeze. To attach the arms to the base plate, simply insert them into the receivers and rotate them until they lock into place. Once you're finished towing and want to remove the arms, pull the pin to disengage the lock, rotate the arms, and remove them from the receivers. Finally, plug up the now empty receivers with the included receiver covers to help keep dirt and debris out of the base plate and provide a finished look.


Guide to Flat Towing

Flat towing your vehicle is much more convenient than using a trailer or a tow dolly. These other options take up much more storage space, leaving you less room both at home and at the campsite. In addition, securing your vehicle to a trailer or tow dolly can be a hassle and more time consuming than hooking up with a tow bar.


There are 5 basic components needed when flat towing a vehicle: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.


Towing Basics

The tow bar links your towed car to your motorhome. It attaches to the custom-fit base plates that install on the frame of your towed car. Safety cables ensure that your towed car does not separate from your motorhome in the event that your tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring allows your towed vehicle's signal lights to sync up with your motorhome's tail lights, which is required by law in most states. Finally, the supplemental braking system - also required in most states - brakes your towed car when the brakes in your motorhome are activated, preventing wear on the motorhome and decreasing braking distance for your entire setup.

  • Recommended Flat Tow Setup for a Motorhome w/ Air Brakes Pulling a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    Hey Mark. Since your motorhome has air breaks, the best option is to install the Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Air Brakes item # SM99243. This is a proportional system that slows or stops your Jeep with the same amount of force your motorhome is braking with. This is a one time install that puts the main unit underneath the hood of your Jeep and the actuating cylinder installs above your brake pedal out of the way. As an alternative you could use the Blue Ox Patriot...

  • Availability of Blue Ox Base Plates for 2013 Jeep Wrangler 10th Anniversary Rubicon
    We do offer Blue Ox base plates for the 2013 Jeep Wrangler 10th Anniversary Rubicon. I confirmed with my contact at Blue Ox that their kit # BX1134 will fit this vehicle as long as it does not have aftermarket bumpers, winches or guards. Be sure to check your Wrangler owner's manual for any preparations required for safe flat towing of this vehicle. Flat towing requires a number of components in addition to the base plates and tow bar. You will also need a wiring/lighting kit, safety...

  • Are the Blue Ox Tow Bars Compatible with My Nilight Bumper on My 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon?
    Hello David, Great question. Nilight bumpers aren’t made for flat towing. They’re strong and great for off-roading, and the D-rings on the front are meant for pulling or winching, like if you get stuck. But towing a Jeep behind an RV is a whole different thing. That kind of towing puts a lot of steady stress on the bumper over long distances, and Nilight bumpers just aren’t tested or rated for that kind of job. To tow your Jeep safely with a Blue Ox tow bar, you’ll still need to install...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Equipment For A 2017 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited
    I'd be happy to make some recommendations for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited. You'll want the following components to complete your setup: Tow Bar: If the # BX1134 does end up fitting with your bumper you'll want the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR. This comes with safety cables included so you won't have to purchase them separately. The head/shank are adjustable to help keep the tow bar level between the motorhome and Wrangler.

  • What is the Difference Between the Blue Ox Base Plates # BX1134 and # BX1126?
    The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1126 is the correct fit for a 2008 Jeep Wrangler with a standard factory bumper. The base plates # BX1134 are also a fit for the ARB Stubby Bar bumper as well as the standard bumper. It is a mounting point difference as well as the brackets are 3-1/2 inches higher on the latter. I've attached the photos of each on a standard bumper that don't make it real easy to distinguish so I've also attached the installation details.

  • Blue Ox Base Plate for 2011 Jeep Wrangler
    The difference between the # BX1126 and # BX1134 is the Jeep bumpers they're compatible with. The # BX1126 so compatible with the standard factory front bumper, while the # BX1134 is only compatible with the ARB Stubby Bar bumper. In addition to the base plates, you'll also need a tow bar, a wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and perhaps a high/low adapter. I've linked to a help article that lists the various available products to flat tow your 2011 Wrangler.

  • Recommendation for Good Looking Aftermarket Bumper for 2016 Jeep Wrangler to be Used with Tow Bar
    For your 2016 Jeep Wrangler I really like the rugged and durable look of the Rampage Mass Articulation Front Recovery Bumper # RA88509. The bumper features D-rings to let you perform recovery operations, a winch plate for simple winch mounting, and integrated receptacles to let you relocate your factory fog lights if you want to. None of our aftermarket bumpers including the Rampage Mass Articulation Bumper are designed to be attached directly to a tow bar for flat towing applications,...

It installs in the same basic way except you need to pay close attention on the driver's side. There's two connectors behind the tail light that are identical. The one you want to install the Hopkins into is the one that has the wires running directly to the tail light bulbs. I've linked a video of the install on a Jeep with the tow package. Skip ahead...

  • Base Plates For 2007 Jeep Wrangler With ARB Bumper
    We do have base plates that will work with your 2007 Jeep Wrangler with an ARB bumper, but the Roadmaster # 1437-3 you asked about is designed specifically to replace the D-rings on Rugged Ridge XHD bumpers with part numbers 11540-10 or 11540-11, so it isn't a fit for your Jeep. The only option to add base plates to your '07 Wrangler with an ARB bumper is an option from Blue Ox: - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1134 There isn't an adapter available that allows a Roadmaster Stowmaster tow...

  • Difference Between Base Plate Kits for 2016 Jeep Wrangler 75th Anniversary
    The difference between the two Roadmaster base plate kits you referenced is the design of the removable arms of the kit. The part # 1444-3 is a MX kit which does not use a crossbar and would be easier to install in my opinion. The XL part # 1444-1 uses removable arms that require attaching to a crossbar like what comes with the Roadmaster tow bars. The kit would be just as involved as the Blue Ox kit part # BX1134 as the attachment brackets are very similar. In addition to the base plates,...

However, I was able to confirm with my contact at Blue-Ox that the above bumper will work with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1134. The Rampage bumper will not require you to alter any factory components for installation. There are four bolts holding on each side of the bumper that...

    Blue Ox does make incredibly nice flat towing setups. Their base plates are high quality and their tow bars like the Avail part # BX7420 are basically the nicest ones around. I would highly recommend going that route. For a base plate kit you will need the part # BX1134 which is a custom fit for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited HardRock Rubicon edition. The tabs of this kit can also be removed when not in use which is nice. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible...

The coiled design of these cables will help prevent them from dragging on the ground and being damaged. If you don't have the rest of your flat tow setup then I have the following recommendations: Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode...
