Expert Reply:
If you have a factory brush guard on your 2003 Jeep Liberty, the etrailer Base Plate # e98970 will fit perfectly! There will be no interference with your brush guard.
If you need a tow bar to complete your flat-tow setup, I recommend the Demco Dominator Non-Binding Tow Bar - Victory Series - RV Mount - 2" Hitch # DM9511008. The great thing about the Demco is that you do not need to buy an additional adapter to use it with the etrailer base plate. Also, as as far as construction, the Dominator comes with a lightweight yet durable aluminum design that only weighs 30 pounds. The Dominator also comes with vinyl-coated safety cables.

My problem is I have a Stowmaster 5000 towbar set up for my 2003 jeep Liberty. It has the round couplers. My jeep has the 1 1/2" rectanglar couplers. Where can I find the rectangular couplers to replace the round one's?
