Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - 1430-3

  • 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.

  • Flat Tow 2007 Jeep Wrangler with Warn Elite Bumper Winch
    I sent Roadmaster the pictures of the Warn Elite front bumper you have on your 2007 Jeep Wrangler and they informed me that the # 1430-3 is the correct fit and would work well. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terrain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For lighting/safety...

  • Flat Tow Base Plate for 2011 Jeep With Aftermarket Bumper & Winch
    As I guess you are seeing, the tow bar has to attach to a basic (frame attached) base plate kit, or to a new bumper (frame attached) which has tow hook ears that the tow bar can connnect to. Since you have told me that the current aftermarket bumper (pictured) tow hook ears are not durable enough for the tow bar we MAY have to select an appropriate bumper. To Use your Roadmaster # RM-522 Falcon All Terrain tow bar you will need the Roadmaster # 1430-3 base plate kit. This kit is reported...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Jeep Wrangler X Behind a Motor Home
    To flat tow your 2007 Jeep Wrangler X manual behind a motor home you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates there are several options depending on how your Jeep is equipped. If it has a factory front bumper and no winch, skid plate, or brush guard you can use Roadmaster base plates # 1429-1. If the Jeep has a Warn or Mopar bumper that is any of the following parts you can use # 1430-1 or # 1430-3: 82211715, 82211715AB or 82209740AD...

  • Can D-Ring Be Used With Adapter When Flat-Towing 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster about your 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. They told me they do not recommend using the D-rings when flat-towing your Jeep. They do not have the towing weight capacity that a system using base plates that mount to the frame would have. The base plates I recommend are part # 1430-3. These will mount under the bumper on your Wrangler. These are not designed to work if your Wrangler is the 10th Anniversary Rubicon model. The RoadMaster StowMaster Car-Mounted...

  • Recommended Baseplate For A 2008 Jeep Wrangler JK With Warn Elite Series Winch Bumper
    The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98949 was designed to fit a standard factory bumper so you'll need the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1430-3 instead. Installation Notes: Trimming the shock absorption pad, active air shutter louvers or housing, lower air dam, air deflector, cowling and/or rock guard is required on this model. This bracket fits Moper/Warn bumpers having part number 82211715, 82211715AB, 8221175AC or 82209740AD and skid plate part numbers 82210401 or...

  • How To Pick Out Base Plates for Flat Towing a Vehicle
    It sounds like what you need is a base plate kit to attach your Blue Ox tow bar to your vehicle. Without knowing what vehicle you have it would be hard for me to tell you which kit exactly you would need since they are all custom fit to each vehicle. But if you follow the link I attached to the right you can enter your vehicle information and all of the correct kits will be listed there. I also attached an FAQ on flat towing to the right for you to check out as well.

  • Can 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Aftermarket Bumper be Flat Towed Behind an RV
    Whether or not you can flat tow using the bumper on your Jeep is up to the bumper manufacturer. It sounds like you will need to keep pressing them for this information. You might ask to speak with an engineer or technical help person there. From what I could find the D-rings that come with the bumper are rated for 4-3/4 tons so the mounts the D-rings are in would have to have at least the same rating. The 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited weighs a fraction of that so I do not foresee it being...

  • Best Base Plate for my 2003 Toyota Tacoma and my Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar
    For your 2003 Tacoma part # 1430-3 will not work instead you want the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms part # 1159-1. This is a custom fit for your Tacoma and has all the necessary hardware to install it. You will want a small amount of red Loctite for this part # LT37420 this should be applied to each fastener as you install them. I have provided a video below showing this process. From there simply use the crossbar that came with your Sterling tow bar and it will...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Warn/Mopar Bumper
    I checked with Roadmaster and for MX base plates you would use # 1430-3 on a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with a Warn/Mopar bumper as long as it is one of the following: 82211715, 82211715AB, 82209740AD or 82211715AC and skid plate part numbers 82210401 or 82210401AB For a compatible tow bar I reocmmend the Falcon 2 # RM-520 and safety cables # RM-643. For lighting if you will not be towing the vehicle often I recommend a magnetic kit # RM-2120. If you will be towing the Jeep often then...

  • Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit for a 2007 Jeep Wrangler
    I do have a solution for you to use the same style of base plate kit but the Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5 that you referenced is not a fit. Instead you need the Kit # 1429-3 (won't fit with optional Mopar skid plate) if you have the standard factory bumper or the Kit # 1430-3 if you have a Mopar/Warn bumper. If you have a different bumper then let me know and I can help you find a solution. To complete your flat towing setup you also need a tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring,...

  • 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...
