Question:
I have a 97 Jeep TJ that I want to tow behind my motorhome. I have the Blackhawk 2 All Terrain tow bar set up already, but what do I need to install on my jeep to make that work?

Hey Ron, you would just need a Roadmaster base plate kit for your 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ like the part # RM-521424-5 which will work great with your Blackhawk 2 All Terrain tow bar. Do you have lighting and braking already covered?

OK, thanks. Is there a less expensive option? I'm looking at the bumper to see if I could use the tow points on it. I need to find manufacturer and explore. It's definitely aftermarket and the points look really beefy, but I need to see chassis attachment point to see if it is sturdily connected first, then if the bumper is flat tow rated. If not I will go with the base plate. Yes, lights and brakes are covered. Thanks for your help. Ron
