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.
