Purpose of Loops on Ends of Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1118
Published 08/09/2016 >
Question:
Hi, Just finished installing this on my 2001 jeep TJ, and was wondering what the two tabs on the far end of the base plate are for ? The ones with the circle cut out, doesnt seem to mention anything in the installation instructions. Thanks!

The loops on the outside edges of the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1118 are for attaching the safety cables of the tow bar to.
