Question:
FOR MY 2004 JEEP WRANGLER, DO YOU HAVE TO DRILL ANY HOLES IN THE FRAME OR DOES IT FIT EXISTING HOLES?
asked by: TIM
Expert Reply:
Hey Tim. The Curt Custom Base Plate Kit item # C32KR does not require drilling. It installs in existing holes on your 2004 Jeep Wrangler.
Here are the rest of the parts you'll need to flat tow your Jeep:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox and Curt Base Plates item # e47ZR
Wiring Harness - Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles item # HM56202
Supplemental Braking System - Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System item # HM39524
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
What kind of motorhome do you have?
