Do You Have an Install Video for Installing Roadmaster Base Plate on 1997 Geo Tracker?

Question:

Do you have any photos or detailed instructions for installing BP 118-8 on a 96-98 Geo tracker? My truck is a 97 2Dr Tracker. The generic PDF from Roadmaster isnt much help. Thanks

Hello Rob,

Thanks for writing in. I'm glad you found us!

The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms # 118-8 is going to be a great fit for your 1997 Geo Tracker. We haven't had the pleasure of installing one yet, so we don't have an installation video of our own. However, if you Google "Geo Tracker Roadmaster tow bar and base plate install," you should find a helpful video. I've also attached a copy of the installation instructions for you.

I also attached a help article that covers the must-have components for flat towing.

What parts do you already have? I'm happy to help figure out what you still need. =) Also, how many miles do you have on the Tracker?

Hi Kate, Thanks for the reply. Couldn't find much on google or YT. Just videos of the finished install but nothing detailing the installation. Apparently there will be some drilling into the frame involved. Thanks again, Rob

@Rob I just looked at the instructions, yes it looks like there is some drilling required for the install. I attached our Dealer Locator if you want to check to see who we have in your area that you can pay to do the install. I really wish we had an install video for you Rob.
