Does etrailer Base Plate Kit e74FV Attach to Front Bumper of YJ
Published 11/09/2026
Question:
Hello - this bolts to the factory bumper and that’s it? The bumper is only 1/8” steel channel that’s enough meat to bolt these to and tow from? These don’t tie in directly to the frame horns. Just want to be sure it’s safe bolted to the bumper only. Thanks!

Hey Tim, welcome back! Yes while it does seem a little odd the etrailer base plate kit part # e74FV does attach to the factory standard bumper but just attaching to the front of it. The bracket that attaches behind the bumper does help add additional rigidity to it. You might measure the bumper thickness again though as I'd assume it's thicker than 1/8 inch.
