Roadmaster Base Plates - 1429-1

  • Removable Drawbars
  • Roadmaster
  • Hitch Pin Attachment

The crossbar-style hidden brackets attach to your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar. The visible portions of the brackets can be removed when you are not towing.


Features:

  • Hidden bracket design - drawbars are easily removable via 2 pins
    • Improved aesthetics compared with standard brackets
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding required
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • Compatible with Roadmaster tow bars with use of quick-disconnect crossbar (910021-00 - sold separately)
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


The square drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with hitch pins. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible. On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

Recently, we decided to setup our 2008 Wrangler JK to be towed behind the motorhome. All I needed were base plates because we had a previous tow car. After doing a search for parts, I decided on etrailer.com to be the source. The product search was easy and the descriptions along with the large photos helped me determine my mechanical skills were enough to install the plates. The order process was quick and easy and the tracking info was helpful. A three day delivery delay occurred due to a snow storm in the mid-west. Once the parts arrived, I installed the parts in about four hours. The instructions were easy to follow, the pictures helped determine the procedure for installing, and everything fit as expected. I could not be more pleased with the base plates and etrailer.com. Thanks very much!

All of the parts work perfectly. They make connecting the Jeep easy and we are very happy. Thanks very much!

I ordered these brackets to tow my Jeep Wrangler behind my motorhome. Having used this brand before I knew the quality I would get and was not disappointed. The original order had 2 left side brackets and no right side brackets so after a call to customer support the correct part was sent. They even gave me a follow-up call to make sure I was taken care of. Mistakes happen but how a company responds to those mistakes is what really matters. These are people you can count on. I am a customer for life.

I bought these base plates from eTrailer for my 2008 Jeep Wranger. They bolt right right on the Jeep with the included hardware and work great. I have been using my Stowmaster Tow Bar for over 20 years and have never had an issue with it or the many different base plates I have purchase for my vehicles in that time. I highly recommend Roadmaster base plates and the Stowmaster tow bar.



by:

Always great dealing with etrailer, their customer service is excellent. They give great suggestions and guidance on the right products for your needs. They are a fantastic resource...saving you both time and money.

The Roadmaster cross-bar base plate kit works great, was at a fair price and shipped quickly. We have had it a year now with no problems. Works as advertised and is the right towing solution for our motorhome.

Purchased base plates for my Wrangler on line and was very impressed with the service from etrailer. product was delivered a few days earlier than expected and exactly what was ordered. Installation was implemented according to the instructions provided with no surprises.



by:
2007 Jeep Wrangler

It was a great fit to my 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I struggled with some crusty bolt on the Jeep but no issues with the base plates. I might suggest to Roadmaster that the installation would have been easier if they had included 4 of the threaded backing plates instead of the two they provided. Some of those bolts were in some pretty tight confines.

Brkt fit perfect and after 9000 miles of towing is still just like the day I installed it. I also used the custom brkt under the seat to mount my air brake piston to activate the the brakes in the jeep while towing..thanks



by:

Great customer service. I was sent an email with tracking number, and also a video attached on how to install the item. I will be ordering more from etrailer.



by:

The brackets fit perfectly and were pretty easy to install. The nuts with the wires were tricky to get in place but overall I am happy with the product and the way they work.

Very easy to install although the pictures in the instructions could be larger. Very pleased with this product

Excellent service. The order was shipped very fast and arrived in 2 days. I will always shop etrailer first.

No problems with installation. One thing that could be changed is that the outer bolts should be the same as the iner [ with a threaded plate}

etrailer service is and has always been stellar. My order was correct and was delivered very quickly. The only reason I made this a four instead of a five was that the rear bolt position of both base plate brackets where welded on crooked. Each small plate was at a different angle from each other. In my opinion whoever welded them wasn’t paying attention to quality control. Because I was on a time crunch for my departure on a trip and could not wait for replacements (and I needed the vehicle for local driving) I made the brackets work. Other than that the installation went smoothly and I was able to test tow my 2004 CRV a couple of times without incident.

  • Recommendation For Flat Towing 2009 Jeep Wrangler Behind RV
    Yes, either braking system will work. Both the Blue Ox Patriot, Item # BLU37TR, and the Roadmaster InvisiBrake System, Item # RM-8700, are good options. Both will need power connections so you can connect the Patriot with a 12V Outlet Kit like Item # RM-9332 and the InvisiBrake will connect directly to the battery. Of the two, I recommend the Roadmaster InvisiBrake System, Item # RM-8700, because it is a one-time install and then you are good to go. Because you will need to disconnect...

  • Base Plate Kit and Accessories Needed to Tow a 2007 Jeep Wrangler with a Stowmaster 5000 Tow Bar
    The Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, # 1429-1, is the correct base plate kit for your 2007 Jeep Wrangler 2 door, as long as there are no aftermarket parts like bumper, winch or brush guards on the front of the Jeep. This kit is compatible with the older Stowmaster 5000 Tow Bar. As long you have a set of car side quick disconnects you are ready to go. If not you can use the RoadMaster Quick Disconnects, # RM-222. To complete your towing setup, I recommend safety cables # RM-643. And for lighting...

    In order to flat-tow your 2008 Jeep Wrangler with a manual transmission you will need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, supplemental braking system, wiring harness, and possible high-low adapter. None of our tow bars come with base plate kits so you will need to purchase both in order to attach your vehicle to the motorhome unless your Jeep has d-rings which can be used for towing in which case you would need an adapter. For a non-binding tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon...

    The Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit, # RM-521448-4, will fit a 2010 Jeep Wrangler without aftermarket bumpers, winch, or guards. There is some trimming needed on the factory rock guard underneath the front bumper. The Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit, # RM-521448-4, is for the 2007 to 2009 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited.

  • Can a Front Mount Hitch Be Used with Base Plates on a 2007 Jeep Wrangler
    The best solution for your situation would be to remove the base plates and install a front mount hitch like the Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch, # 65069. On your 2007 Jeep Wrangler, the base plates and the front mount hitches use the same mounting location, so they cannot be installed together. Also, base plates were not designed to take any vertical weight like the tongue weight of a trailer, so I would not advise making some type of custom receiver to work with the base plates. Some bumper...

  • Can I Get Replacement Draw bars for My 2007 Jeep Wrangler
    If you do not have the complete base plate kit and are referring to the drawbars from the base plate kit that are removable and attach to your tow bar then you will need to purchase a new base plate kit. The manufacturer will not sell the drawbars separately because the draw bars are custom fitted for each base plate kit and the possibility of the base plate kit parts already on the vehicle being damaged. The custom base plate kit for your 2007 Jeep wrangler would be one of four kits...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Behind a Motor Home with Stowmaster Tow Bar
    In order to flat tow the 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you will need base plates that attach to the vehicle frame. Because the bumper structure is attached to the frame and not part of the frame, you do not want to attach tow bar parts to it to flat tow the vehicle because there is a possible point of failure between the bumper and frame. For some base plates, you have options, see link to right. I like the XL style base plates, # 1429-1, because they have fewer restrictions that the MX...
