Question:
I am looking for a base plate for my Jeep Patriot and are considering the Blue Ox, Demco, and Roadmaster brands. My question is which base plate will require the least amount of modification facia trimming, etc. to my Jeep thus resulting in the best looking installation?

Expert Reply:
There isn't a whole lot of trimming for either the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 521441-1 or the Blue Ox part # BX1130 but the Roadmaster has the edge in my opinion as both require fascia trimming but the Blue Ox requires a reciprocating saw to trim a portion of the bumper beam.
