Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Hitch Pin Attachment
  • Partially Hidden

Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications, direct-connect brackets install onto your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for a motor-home-mounted tow bar. Front arms are easily removable when not in use.


Features:

  • Hidden bracket design - drawbars are easily removable via 2 pins
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • No crossbar needed - faster hookup and sleeker appearance
    • Crossbar not required because these direct-connect base plates are designed for strong, heavy-duty applications
  • Compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars that slide into trailer hitch receivers
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


Note: Direct-connect base plates will work only with the Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, and Falcon 2. These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.


Direct-connect brackets do not require a crossbar because of the heavy-duty nature of your vehicle's frame. Thus, installation is simplified, the hookup process is faster, and the total appearance is enhanced.


Note: The EZ Hook safety cables included with Roadmaster's Sterling tow bars will not work with direct-connect base plates. These cables connect to an anchor plate on the Quick Disconnect crossbar, which will not be present when you are using these base plates.


The drawbars, or front arms, on the direct-connect base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with pins. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible. On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

See what our Experts say about this Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate

  • Will Curt Adjustable Tow Bar Fit Roadmaster Base Plate Kit
    The Curt Adjustable Tow Bar # C19745 you purchased will not fit any base plates. It is specifically designed to mount on a flat metal section of your bumper using the universal bumper brackets. If you want to use the # 1439-3 on your 2012 Jeep Wrangler you would need a tow bar like the # RM-520. Keep in mind, this base plate kit is only designed to fit the Call of Duty- MW3 Edition and the Warn Elite bumper.

  • Baseplate or Adapter Compatibility with Warn Bumper on 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
    If you don't have the Warn Elite then you would need to confirm with the manufacturer that the bumper is rated for flat towing versus just trusting forums. If it is rated by the manufacturer for flat towing then you can use the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars - 1" Thick # RM-035-1 or # RM-035 for the 3/4 inch thick. If your Warn bumper is the Warn Elite, then you can use the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 1439-3.

  • Will the Roadmaster D-Ring Tow Bar Adapters Work On a Jeep with Call of Duty Bumper
    I don't show the Call of Duty Edition Bumper for a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited as having the required d-ring mounts to use the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts part # RM-035. Therefore, you'll need to use the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # 1439-3 which is a confirmed fit for models with the Call of Duty Edition Bumper.

  • Converting Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit 1439-1 to Direct-Connect Setup
    There is a way to convert your existing Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 1439-1 so that it can connect directly to your Falcon Tow Bar, it's not by way of a traditional adapter. What you will need to do is actually obtain replacement arms from the Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1439-3 (which also fits your Jeep Wrangler). The arms by themselves can be ordered using our part # RM-ARMS. There is a form that needs to be filled out (which is attached to the product page) where...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2011 Jeep Wrangler with a 2012 Call of Duty MW3 Edition Bumper
    So based on my research, the Call of Duty MW3 Edition bumper debuted with the 2012 model year, which is why there is no mention of fits for any base plates on a 2011 Jeep Wrangler with that bumper. Since the Jeeps are otherwise the same, it seems likely the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1439-3 will work, but there is just no way to guarantee it. The d-ring adapters you added may be a better option so long as your bumper is rated by the manufacturer for flat towing, and it...

  • Parts Recommended for Flat Towing a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon/ Automatic Trans.
    For starters, you'll need base plates, but the base plates needed will depend on the front bumper your Wrangler is equipped with. If it's the straight factory bumper, use # RM-521448-5. If you have the Warn Elite 87750 or 87775 bumper, use # 1439-3. For a Warn Elite 101420 bumper with no lower valence below the bumper, use # RM42FR. For a tow bar, I'd recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All-terrain tow bar, part # RM-522. The Falcon All-terrain will self center and lock into place while you...

  • Roadmaster Base Plate For a 2015 Jeep Wrangler With Warn Elite Bumper
    I'm a bit confused on exactly what you are looking for for your 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate # 1439-1 you linked to is a fit for your 2015 Jeep Wrangler if you have the Warn Elite Bumper. This style of base plate requires a Crossbar # 910021-00. We do have a Direct Connect Base Plate # 1439-3 which uses arms to fit directly to a set of Roadmaster Tow Bars # RM-676. If this is what you need please let me know so I can let you know what other parts you will...

  • Solution for Protecting Towed Jeep Wrangler with Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit Installed
    I may have a solution for you, however as you mentioned in your question, the Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit # 1439-3 that you have installed on your Jeep Wrangler is not compatible with protective devices that mount on the vehicle or between the vehicle and RV. Your best solution will be with something like the Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty Adjustable Mud Flap System # ERT00108. These will mount to the 2 inch trailer hitch on your RV and offer protection for your Jeep by deflecting flying rocks...

  • Choosing Base Plate for 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited w/ Warn Elite Bumper
    The MX style base plate was designed for use on heavier vehicles like full size pickups and SUVs. Its design eliminates the need for a crossbar at the point where the tow bar and the base plates connect. The # 1439-3 MX base plate isn't compatible with the safety chain anchor brackets for the Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar, the anchor brackets would need to be attached to the frame of the vehicle or welded to the receiver portion of the bracket. The MX base plate isn't compatible with the...

  • Recommended Base Plate for 2013 Jeep Wrangler
    The Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit part # 1439-3 is a confirmed fit for the 2013 Jeep Wrangler with the Warn Elite bumper. The kit will accommodate your Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar and comes with all the necessary hardware required for installation. If you don't already have them you may need the following for a complete flat towing kit. For lighting I recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, part # RM-154 as it would just plug into your vehicle each time you tow....

  • Replacement Drawbars for Roadmaster 1439-3 Base Plate Kit on 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    We can obtain the replacement C001477 driver's side and C001476 passenger side drawbars, but you'd need to contact our Customer Service folks directly at 800-298-8924 to obtain them, as we don't sell them through the website.

  • Flat Towing Setup Recommendation for a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
    The first thing you will need is a base plate kit confirmed to fit your 2013 Jeep Wrangler with a Warn bumper. For that you will want the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # 1439-3. This base plate kit is compatible with the Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 Tow Bar # RM-422 that you referenced. There are several other components you will need. For tail light wiring I recommend the Hopkins Tow Bar Wiring kit # HM56200. This plugs inline with your tail light wiring and will activate the taillights of your...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport Behind Winnebago 35U Gas Coach
    Flat towing requires 5 basic components: tow bar, safety cables, a wiring/lighting kit and base plates and a supplementary braking system for the towed vehicle. Since you have a Roadmaster tow bar I suggest staying with their base plates since this will avoid the hassle and expense of adapters which can be required to mate different brands' parts. You can use the link provided to see all Roadmaster base plates and the Select Vehicle Style drop-down menu at the top of the page will allow...
