• Will The Roadmaster Direct Connect Base Plates # RM-521453-5 Connect To A Demco Dominator Tow Bar
  There currently are no adapters available to connect the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521453-5 to your Demco Dominator Tow Bar # DM9511008 so instead I recommend going with the RM-521453-4 which is the same bracket but with different style arms which will allow you to use the Roadmaster Tow Bar Adapter # RM-032 and connect to the Dominator tow bar. If you don't want to have to use an adapter you can use a Demco branded base plate like the # DM9519336...

• Comparing Direct-Connect and Crossbar Base Plates for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited
  The difference between the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 and Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-4 is how tow bars attach. As the name suggests, you will connect your tow bar straight to the direct-connect base plates while the crossbar style will require you use your tow bar's crossbar or quick-disconnect. This makes the direct-connect the easiest base plate to connect to and disconnect from. Because of that, for your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited...

• Can The Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar Work With Direct-Connect Style Baseplates
  The Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501 is only designed to work with crossbar-style baseplates like the # RM-521453-4 and would not be compatible with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect style baseplate # RM-521453-5. If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations for you as well: Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode kit will splice into your tail light wiring in order...

• Roadmaster EZ 4 or EZ 5 Base Plate for Flat Towing Vehicle Behind RV
  The difference between the EZ 4 # RM-521453-4 and the EZ5 # RM-521453-5 base plate kits is that the EZ 5 is a direct connect with no crossbar and the EZ 4 doesn't use a crossbar. Essentially, you'd want to match the base plates to the tow bar you're using. This involves how the tow bar attaches to the base plates. The Falcon 2 # RM-520 tow bar uses a crossbar, therefore you'd want to use the EZ 4 base plate. For a tow bar such as the # RM-677 Roadmaster Nighthawk that doesn't use a crossbar,...

• Roadmaster Base Plate Kit to Use with Sterling All Terrain Tow Bar
  The Roadmaster Direct Connect base plate kit part # 1555-3 is a fit for your 2006 Honda CR-V and works great with the Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar part # RM-576. This is one the easiest setups to use out there so it's a really solid option I would recommend. I am not totally sure what tow bar wiring connector you have on the front of your vehicle when you installed the Roadmaster Diode kit but there's a pretty good chance it's a 5-way round so you'd want the part # HM47025 which is 5-way...

• What is the Difference Between the Roadmaster EZ4 and EZ5 Base Plate Kits on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler
  That is a great question because overall there is not much of a difference. The difference between the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit (EZ4) # RM-521453-4 and the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit (EZ5) # RM-521453-5 is going to be in what type of tow bar attaches to each base plate.

• Is Direct Connect Roadmaster Base Plate as Strong as Crossbar Base Plate for 2020 Jeep Wrangler
  This is a good question. So it really comes down to preference between the Roadmaster base plate kits that have the crossbar and the ones that do not. The kits like you have # RM-521453-5 without the crossbar are actually reinforced more at the welds and have thicker brackets to compensate for the lack of support from the crossbar like # RM-521453-4. Having hooked up both styles I really prefer the kit you have as the connection is just much easier and there's one less thing to keep track...

• Roadmaster StowMaster Compatible Base Plates and Recommended Braking System for 2020 Jeep Wrangler
  According to Roadmaster, the # RM-521453-4 base plate kit will install using existing holes, but if the vehicle has a metal or plastic splash shield under the bumper, some trimming will need to be done using a die grinder/Dremel type-tool. I've linked the installation instructions for you to look over and see if the install is something you'd feel comfortable attempting. These base plates are compatible with the Roadmaster Stowmaster tow bar. For safety cables, I'd recommend the # RM-643...

• Mounting Location for Breakaway Switch on Roadmaster Base Plates for 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
  The Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-4 referenced in your question does not feature a mounting space for a breakaway switch. This is really the case for any of the base plate kits we have available as it's really best to attach the breakaway switch and bracket directly to the vehicle and not an external attachment like the base plates or tow bar. On your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler your best option may be to attach it to the underside of the front fascia/bumper.

• Duncan EazAligner 2000 Compatible Base Plate To Flat Tow 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  Roadmaster does have a base plate that will work, part # RM-521453-4. You'll also need the # RM-038 Duncan tow bar to Roadmaster Base Plate adapter. The reason we don't list the coupler style tow bars as being compatible is that the EZ4 type base plate drawbars need to be twisted 90° to remove, which isn't easy when the adapter is bolted on. In other words, according to Roadmaster, it WILL work, it just won't be super-easy to remove the base plate draw bars as you'll need to unbolt the...
