Blends In When Not Towing: Removable arms leave behind nearly invisible brackets for a clean look.
Built to Last: Computer-cut, all-steel construction with black powder coat resists rust and corrosion.

Features to know about

Made for a Clean Front End: Hidden Brackets with Removable Drawbars

If you like a clean, factory look when you’re not towing, this setup keeps things neat. The hidden bracket design mounts inside the grille, leaving nothing bulky in sight once the drawbars are removed. The square front arms secure with hitch pins and slide out in seconds, so the remaining brackets are virtually invisible and protected from scrapes or road grime.

Built to Handle Long Miles: Computer-Cut, All-Steel Construction

This kit uses computer-cut, all-steel construction for precise fit and dependable strength. Each bracket bolts directly to the frame with no welding required, so towing loads are spread evenly through the chassis. The black powder coat finish resists corrosion and keeps the hardware looking sharp after thousands of miles on the road.

Quick Hookups Every Time: Crossbar-Style Connection with Hitch Pins

When it’s time to tow, the removable drawbars line up easily and lock into place with two hitch pins. It’s a straightforward design that makes connecting fast and repeatable. The system works with Roadmaster tow bars when used with the quick-disconnect crossbar (910021-00 — sold separately), giving you a solid link between vehicle and tow bar that’s simple to operate.

Straightforward to Mount: Bolt-On Fit with Hardware and Instructions Included

You won’t need special tools or welding for installation. The custom brackets are designed for a perfect fit and come with mounting hardware and instructions. Once bolted up, alignment stays true for reliable towing performance trip after trip.

2008 Jeep Wrangler

Recently, we decided to setup our 2008 Wrangler JK to be towed behind the motorhome. All I needed were base plates because we had a previous tow car. After doing a search for parts, I decided on etrailer.com to be the source. The product search was easy and the descriptions along with the large photos helped me determine my mechanical skills were enough to install the plates. The order process was quick and easy and the tracking info was helpful. A three day delivery delay occurred due to a snow storm in the mid-west. Once the parts arrived, I installed the parts in about four hours. The instructions were easy to follow, the pictures helped determine the procedure for installing, and everything fit as expected. I could not be more pleased with the base plates and etrailer.com. Thanks very much!

I ordered these brackets to tow my Jeep Wrangler behind my motorhome. Having used this brand before I knew the quality I would get and was not disappointed. The original order had 2 left side brackets and no right side brackets so after a call to customer support the correct part was sent. They even gave me a follow-up call to make sure I was taken care of. Mistakes happen but how a company responds to those mistakes is what really matters. These are people you can count on. I am a customer for life.

2008 Jeep Wrangler

I bought these base plates from eTrailer for my 2008 Jeep Wranger. They bolt right right on the Jeep with the included hardware and work great. I have been using my Stowmaster Tow Bar for over 20 years and have never had an issue with it or the many different base plates I have purchase for my vehicles in that time. I highly recommend Roadmaster base plates and the Stowmaster tow bar.

by: Peter H. 05/13/2020 One Year Later

Always great dealing with etrailer, their customer service is excellent. They give great suggestions and guidance on the right products for your needs. They are a fantastic resource...saving you both time and money.

The Roadmaster cross-bar base plate kit works great, was at a fair price and shipped quickly. We have had it a year now with no problems. Works as advertised and is the right towing solution for our motorhome.

Purchased base plates for my Wrangler on line and was very impressed with the service from etrailer. product was delivered a few days earlier than expected and exactly what was ordered. Installation was implemented according to the instructions provided with no surprises.

2007 Jeep Wrangler

It was a great fit to my 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I struggled with some crusty bolt on the Jeep but no issues with the base plates. I might suggest to Roadmaster that the installation would have been easier if they had included 4 of the threaded backing plates instead of the two they provided. Some of those bolts were in some pretty tight confines.

2015 Jeep Wrangler

The product top notch quality build. I have a 2015 jeep wrangler and to be honest installing the bolts inside the bumper frame is a pain in the butt. To be clear this is NOT etrailer’s fault, but be prepared to use either very a long pliers or some kind of rigged up tool to hold the nut while you screw it. It appears that video that is available on there web site has a technician who has very long fingers and was able to do it easily. My fingers are not as long so using just fingers was not an option for me.

Brkt fit perfect and after 9000 miles of towing is still just like the day I installed it. I also used the custom brkt under the seat to mount my air brake piston to activate the the brakes in the jeep while towing..thanks

No problems with installation. One thing that could be changed is that the outer bolts should be the same as the iner [ with a threaded plate}

Recommendation For Flat Towing 2009 Jeep Wrangler Behind RV
Yes, either braking system will work. Both the Blue Ox Patriot, Item # BLU37TR, and the Roadmaster InvisiBrake System, Item # RM-8700, are good options. Both will need power connections so you can connect the Patriot with a 12V Outlet Kit like Item # RM-9332 and the InvisiBrake will connect directly to the battery. Of the two, I recommend the Roadmaster InvisiBrake System, Item # RM-8700, because it is a one-time install and then you are good to go. Because you will need to disconnect...

Supplemental Braking System and Other Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2009 Jeep Wrangler
