Question:
The installation instructions shows 2 large bolts / nuts on the right and left side, not included in the bill of materials. Are these factory bolts remove and re-installed, I have a 2015 2 door jeep wrangler

Hey Glen, in the install instructions for the etrailer base plate kit part # e98949 it shows that it comes with two bolts that are used to install the base plate after drilling into the vehicle using the base plate kit as a template. It is odd that the one set of longer bolts isn't labelled but they are included with this kit. Looks to be an error in the printing of the instructions.

Hey Glen, how did things go with the base plate kit on your Jeep Wrangler after checking the bolts in the package? Knowing if those longer bolts matched up as expected could help others sorting through the same instructions.
