  • Base Plate Recommendation for 1997 Geo Tracker 4 Door 4WD
  • For your 1997 4WD 4-Door Geo Tracker, the Roadmaster XL Base Plate # 1007-2 provides a custom fit.

  • Tow Bar Wiring to Flat Tow a 1996 Geo Tracker Behind a Motor Home
  • You can use a diode kit like # 38955 on your 1996 Geo Tracker but there are several things to consider. First, it looks like your Tracker has turn signals that are separate from the brake and running lights. If this is so then by using a 4 diode kit, all the functions will use the brake/running light bulb and the vehicle turn signals will not be used at all. If the towing vehicle (RV) has separate bulbs as well and no trailer connector, you would either need to use a tail light converter,...

  • What Parts are Needed to Use a Tow Ready Tow Bar with Roadmaster Base Plates on a 1992 Geo Tracker
  • In order to attach the Tow Ready Tow Bar, # 63180, to your Roadmaster base plates, you will need the Roadmaster Base Plate to Tow Ready Tow Bar Adapter, # RM-025. This will allow the two different parts to work together. The Roadmaster Quick Disconnect Tow Bar Base Assembly, # 910021-00, is for Roadmaster tow bars so it should not be needed, just the adapter and tow bar listed above. I have included a link to the installation details for the tow bar for you. Keep in mind that the Tow...

  • Should 20 Year Old Trailer Tires Be Replaced
  • As a general rule of thumb, trailer tires should be replaced every 6 to 8 years regardless of wear. Even though an older tire might appear to have plenty of tread left on it, dry rot and cracking can cause tire failure. The mating surface behind the bolt holes should be flat, and should mate perfectly with the face of your hubs. I would definitely replace the tires before using the trailer again. If the wheels are showing signs of corrosion, I would also recommend replacing them with...

  • Flat Towing Parts Needed for a 1990 Geo Tracker
  • Your vehicle is too old for me to be able to pull up the owners manual online, but if you check the owners manual in your vehicle there should be a section about recreational towing that details whether or not your vehicle can be flat towed and all the steps needed to be taken. For fixed arms that will always be visible at the front of the vehicle but that also cost less, use # 118-1. For base plates with removable arms but cost more use # 118-3. Next you will need a compatible tow...

  • What is the Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for a 1990 Geo Tracker
  • Yes, the connection point to add trailer wiring harness # 118372 should be the same on a 1998 and 1999 Chevy Tracker. The connection point is located in the inside of the drivers side tire jack compartment. The plug where you will connect the trailer wiring is just forward of the tire jack compartment. I have included a link to the installation details for you.

  • Availability of Replacement Top for 1993 Geo Tracker
  • I may have a solution for you, however the Bestop Duster Deck Cover # B9002915 referenced in your question is not confirmed to fit your 1993 Geo Tracker. It looks like there are enough differences between the 1993 and 1995 model Tracker that this particular cover is not compatible. For your 1993 Geo Tracker we do have the Bestop Strapless Bikini # B5257015 which is confirmed to fit and will work well. This will replace the factory-original top on the vehicle to provide a canopy over the...

  • Base Plates and Recommended Tow Bar for Flat Towing 1992 Geo Metro LSi Behind Motorhome
  • According to Roadmaster, their # 117-3 base plates aren't a fit for LSI models of the 1992 Geo Metro. However, the Blue Ox # BX3506 will fit your vehicle, so that's what I'd recommend. For a compatible tow bar, I'd recommend going with the # e47ZR etrailer brand SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox base plates. The tow bar includes the needed safety cables. You'll also need a few other items to complete your flat towing system. For a wiring harness so the Metro's taillights work in tandem...

  • Where do Safety Chains Attach with Roadmaster Base Plate 118-8
  • With the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 118-8 you actually will want to connect the safety cables like part # RM-643 to the frame of the vehicle so that in case of a problem with the base plate the cable would bypass that and connect to the frame and still be able to grab something. So look on the frame for an opening that you could snag the hook of the chain onto.

  • Are Extra Diodes Needed for Separate Lighting on RV And 1995 Geo Tracker With 15267 Lighting Kit
  • Thank you for your purchase of the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. In regards to diodes, since your RV has separate lighting, and your 1995 Geo Tracker has separate lighting, if you want your Tracker to retain its separate turn and brake signals, you will need a converter and two more diodes. What you would need is the Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # 118158 and the Roadmaster Hy-Power Diodes (Qty 2) # RM-792.

  • Can 4.80-12 Size Tires be Used to Replace 145/80-12 Size Tires
  • I never recommend having different tires on your trailer at the same time. Maybe if one is a spare and you're only using for a short distance in an emergency but not for regular towing by any means. If you're going to change one tire to a 4.80-12 then I recommend changing both of them. The 4.80-12 tires are about an inch smaller in diameter and 3/4 of an inch skinnier so you won't have an issue with clearance. On the other hand we do carry 145/80R12 size tires. We part # AM10130 which...

  • Will Roadmaster Diode Kit RM-152497 Fit 1995 Geo Tracker and Work With Monaco Motorhome
  • If your tow vehicle, the motorhome, has trailer wiring on it already it has the circuits combined as that is the standard way trailer wiring is ran. That means that for a diode wiring kit for your 1995 Geo Tracker the part # RM-15247 would fit and be exactly what you want without needing any further wiring or adapters.

  • How to Wire Up a Motorhome 7-Way with a Separate Circuit to a 7-Way with Combined Circuit
  • The # RM-732 is the correct adapter to use to go from a separate taillight system like what you have on your motorhome to a combined system like what is on your tow dolly. For wiring your motorhome with a 7-way you would basically want to follow the wiring directions that are on top of the converter. The right side of the converter is the input side so you will need to test the wiring of your RV with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to determine function and wire it accordingly. You'll...

  • Wiring 1996 Geo Tracker for Flat Towing
  • The # C56175 would be installed on your Tracker if you wanted to tow a trailer with it, but it will not work for towing the Tracker behind a motorhome. To wire the vehicle for flat towing there are several available systems, as you can see in the article I have linked you to. A magnetic towing light kit like # RM-2120 would be an easy to use, easy to install alternative. If you would prefer a permanently-wired alternative, the article outlines how to determine which choice is best for...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1992 Geo Tracker 2-Door 4x4 Behind an RV
  • Yes, Roadmaster base plates # 118-3 will fit your 1992 Geo Tracker 2-door 4x4. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2 # RM-520. I have linked a video review of this tow bar for you. For safety cables I recommend # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use a simple kit such as # RM-2120. this kit bypasses the Tracker wiring so you won't have to splice into the tail light wiring. You may also need a high/low adapter to keep the...
