How To Use a Tow Bar On a 2005 Jeep Wrangler with Metal Bumper and No Base Plates
Question:
Can this cross over part be bolted directly to the front bumper and frame rail thus being able to eliminate the need for tow plate

Expert Reply:
The Replacement Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly part # 910021-00 is designed for use with Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kits like part # RM-521424-4 which is a fit for your 2005 Jeep Wrangler so I cannot recommend that you attach this directly to what I presume is a metal bumper.
If you have a motorhome mounted tow bar like the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-525 then the best option for you would be to weld a set of d-rings onto your front bumper which would then allow you to use the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts part # RM-035 or part # RM-035-1. If that is not an option then the Curt Tow Bar part # C19745 which comes with bolt-on brackets would be our only other option for you if you don't want to install a base plate kit.
