Base Plate Fit on 1988 Jeep YJ With Factory Bumper
Updated 06/23/2021 | Published 06/20/2021
Question:
Your website states this DM9518112 will not fit a 1988 Jeep YJ with a factory steel u-channel bumper. Many other sites indicate it will, as it is the same bumper assembly as the earlier CJ’s. Why does it indicate it will not fit an ‘88 YJ?

Expert Reply:
The reason we do not have those base plates as a fit for a 1988 Jeep YJ with a factory bumper is simply due to the fact the manufacturer does not list that vehicle as a fit for these base plates. We have to go by the fitment outlined via the manufacturer in order to ensure the safest possible towing experience.
That said, we do have base plates that I confirmed with the manufacturer fit a 1988 Jeep YJ, which are from Roadmaster:
- Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 1409-1
I have added a link below to the installation instructions for you to take a look at as well.
