  • Can The etrailer Classic Base Plate Kit # e74FV Be Bolted To A Rockhard Front Bumper
    Hi David, The etrailer Classic Base Plate Kit # e74FV could be bolted to your Rockhard front bumper but you'd need to verify with Rockhard that the bumper is rated for flat towing. It looks like they design their bumpers for this usage but it's always best to confirm that your specific model has the rating to ensure you don't have it breakdown while you're out on the road. If you don't have the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations for you: Tow...

  • Will etrailer Classic Base Plate Kit Work With Roadmaster or Blue Ox Tow Bars
    Hey Andy! I'm not 100% sure what you're asking but the etrailer Classic Base Plate Kit # e74FV can work with Roadmaster and Blue Ox tow bars. The correct adapter depends on the exact tow bar. It looks like you decided to go with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521424-5 which will fit Roadmaster tow bars as well as Blue Ox if you use an adapter. What tow bar do you have?

  • Recommended Baseplate for a 2002 Jeep TJ Sport
    Hey Dan. The stock factory bumper on a 2002 Jeep TJ Sport is strong enough to support being flat towed with the etrailer Classic Base Plate Kit item # e74FV. However, I do not have an adapter that's going to connect your Blue Ox Alpha tow bar to it. To use your Blue Ox Alpha to flat tow your 2002 Jeep TJ Sport, you'll need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1118. This baseplate kit is confirmed to fit the 2002 Jeep TJ Sport with the stock bumper. It's going to install below your frame...

    Hey David, I have the following recommendations for your 1990 Jeep Wrangler YJ: Baseplate: etrailer Classic Base Plate Kit # e74FV.
