Simple, Invisible Design

Setting up these invisible base plates for use with your etrailer tow bar is fast and easy. They easily bolt onto the ends of your tow bar. And because the tabs remain on your tow bar at all times instead of protruding from your vehicle , your car maintains a clean look when it's not being towed.


Easy Hookup and Disconnect

Demco Base Plate Tabless Hookup

Using the etrailer invisible base plates to attach and remove your tow bar couldn't be easier. With the base plate tabs attached to your tow bar arms, simply insert the tabs into the receivers on your vehicle and twist to lock them in place. Insert the included pull pins to add an extra layer of security, ensuring the tabs stay put. To remove each arm, simply tug the pull pin to disengage the lock, twist the tow bar arm, and pull the tab out of the bracket.


Receiver Covers

Keep dirt and debris out of the base plate receivers with the included covers. These high-density polyethylene covers easily snap into place over each pull point when your tow bar is not attached. Limiting internal corrosion makes it easier to slide the tabs in and out and helps to prevent seizing so that the tabs don't get stuck.


Tow Bar Adapters

If you have a tow bar from a different manufacturer, an adapter may be available. etrailer offers adapters for use with other tow bars so that you don't have to go through the added hassle and expense of replacing your tow bar when outfitting your new towed car with base plates.


Type of Tow Bar Adapter
Roadmaster Tracker, Falcon 2, Falcon All Terrain, Blackhawk, Blackhawk All Terrain, Sterling tow bars with serial numbers up to 14,500 e98983
Roadmaster Nighthawk, Sterling All Terrain, Sterling tow bars with serial numbers 14,501 e98984

    Hey Ed! It looks like you put together a great list of parts. I'm going to list everything out here with links so it is all in one place, including my suggestions. For a complete setup you will need the following: -etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948 (I'm assuming you have the factory plastic bumper) -etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR (includes safety cables) -Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267 (If you do not have ParkSense) -Roadmaster...

  • Flat Towing Equipment Needed For A 2020 Jeep Wrangler With Standard Factory Bumper
    To flat tow your 2020 Jeep Wrangler you'll need a tow bar, base plate, tow bar wiring kit, braking system, and safety cables. The etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR is a great choice for your tow bar. It has non-binding latches that make unhooking on any terrain easy and telescoping arms that make hooking up on any terrain easy. This tow bar also comes with safety cables so you won't need to purchase any separately. The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948 is a fit for a...

  • Do Tabs Stay on etrailer Invisible Base Plates For 2022 Jeep Wrangler When Using etrailer SD Tow Bar
    For your 2022 Jeep Wrangler, the twist locks (the base plate tabs) will indeed connect to the end of the arms on the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR. You'll connect that directly to the Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948. It's somewhat hard to explain without a visual, so I made a very simple diagram, just for the sake of clarity. And while I can't be sure of what video you watched, it was likely a different manufacturer's tow bar being used so there was a different adapter needed.

    The Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit BLU86XR you mentioned is actually designed to fit 2014-2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee's with a tow package, as well as a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee without a tow package. With that being said, this kit is not going to be the correct kit for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler, unfortunately. Instead, what you're going to need instead is the Curt Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # C96JR. This is going to be the same wiring harness as the Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring...

    The etrailer base plate kit part # e98948 is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Jeep Wrangler and works directly with the Blue Ox tow bar part # BX4330 and would be a great setup. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front...

  • Is the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit for a 2019 Jeep Wrangler As Strong As Others
    The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit part # e98948 is an excellent option for a 2019 Jeep Wrangler. The attachment methods can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer but each will be plenty suitable for flat-towing and I couldn't accurately say one will be stronger than the other as they each go through vigorous testing before they are deemed acceptable. The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit in particular does indeed not require any drilling.

  • Base Plate Kit That Can Work With A Ready Brute II Tow Bar And A 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    With the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948, there isn't any adapters to allow you to use the Ready Brute II tow bar. What you're going to want to do is, use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1139 with the adapters # BX88297. From here, you'll be able to use your Read Brute II Tow Bar with your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I have also attached a couple of videos for you to check out.

  • Recommended Baseplate For A 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon With A Steel Bumper And Warn Winch
    Hi Drew, For a factory steel bumper with a warn winch and a Roadmaster Sterling tow bar you'll want to go with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM24VR. The diode kits will work with LED lighting, you'll just need to determine if you do have ParkSense Proximity Sensors or not. If you do you'll want part # RM63MR; if you don't then you'll want part # RM-15267. If you're completely against cutting into your tail light wiring then there's also plug-in wire harnesses like the...

  • Parts Needed To Flat Towing A 2022 Jeep Wrangler
    Currently, no manufacturers have made a complete flat towing setup custom engineered for a 2022 Jeep Wrangler. However, I'll still tell you what you are going to need. First, you're going to need a base plate like # e98948. A base plate is used to allow your RV to connect to the toad vehicle. Next, you'll need a set of tow bars. I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bars # BX7380. These tow bars are rating for a maximum weight capacity of 6,500lbs and directly connect the base...

  • Recommended Installation Spot For The 6-Pole Socket On A 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    Typically the 6-pole socket holder is screwed into the crosstube of the baseplate # e98948 but with this specific one the plastic bumper really covers a large area and wouldn't look great, so most of the installers will typically cut out a small portion of the grill for the socket to pass through and zip-tie it in place. This allows it to be pretty much hidden and is easy in terms of installation. That being said you can pretty much screw it to anything you want to, but will want to keep...

If you've swapped it out with an aftermarket option we'd have to verify with the manufacturer to ensure compatibility.

  • Comparing etrailer and Blue Ox Baseplate Kits For A 2023 Jeep Gladiator
    Hey Dave, In my opinion the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948 is going to be the stronger option compared to the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU53FR. Blue Ox started adding safety cables to their baseplate kits as a last resort backup in the event that the baseplate breaks off from the frame. Our etrailer line of baseplates are all made by Demco, which is a well-known name in the RV and towing industry and do not require additional safety cables during the installation. With the...

  • Comparing Blue Ox And etrailer Baseplates For A 2023 Jeep Gladiator
    Hi Dave, The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948 and Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU53FR are designed slightly different, but both are compatible fits for your 2023 Jeep Gladiator. The # e98948 is going to be an easier installation since you won't have to cut into the frame rails and shows as a compatible fit with Blue Ox tow bars without the need for an adapter.

  • Can Blue Ox Aventa II Tow Bar Be Used w/ etrailer or Demco Base Plate For 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sahara?
    For your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited you can use either the etrailer Base Plate # e98948 or the Demco # DM9519336 as long as you have the factory plastic bumper and you will be able to use reuse your existing Blue Ox Aventa II without needing an adapter. Since both of these look virtually the same, and have the removable arms that will make the baseplate blend in really well when not hooked to the tow bar I'd just go with whichever one is the least expensive at the time, which...
