Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - 1429-3

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Hitch Pin Attachment

Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications, direct-connect brackets install onto your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for a motor-home-mounted tow bar. Front arms are easily removable when not in use.


Features:

  • Hidden bracket design - drawbars are easily removable via 2 pins
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • No crossbar needed - faster hookup and sleeker appearance
    • Crossbar not required because these direct-connect base plates are designed for strong, heavy-duty applications
  • Compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars that slide into trailer hitch receivers
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


Note: Direct-connect base plates will work only with the Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, and Falcon 2. These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.


Direct-connect brackets do not require a crossbar because of the heavy-duty nature of your vehicle's frame. Thus, installation is simplified, the hookup process is faster, and the total appearance is enhanced.


Note: The EZ Hook safety cables included with Roadmaster's Sterling tow bars will not work with direct-connect base plates. These cables connect to an anchor plate on the Quick Disconnect crossbar, which will not be present when you are using these base plates.


The drawbars, or front arms, on the direct-connect base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with 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.

Works Great, easy installation, Recommended



by:
2008 Jeep Wrangler

I installed the Roadmaster base plate kit myself on my 2008 Jeep Wrangler. I have never installed one and I have basic mechanical skills. I have basic tools, but I did have to purchase a set of crow foot wrenches to reach one nut. It took some time for me to install it, but the instructions were easy to follow step by step. The kit appears to be built very strong. May be priced high for what it is, but what isn't anymore.

As far as etrailer goes, customer service was great. Quinn was informative and seemed to know the product. He followed up with me after the sale. I found a lower price after I ordered and the folks at etrailer gave me a credit on my credit card almost immediately when they verified the lower price. I can highly recommend them and I will always consider them in the future.

I ordered these for a customers Jeep . They fit with a little bit of tweaking, not sure if it was the brackets or the Jeep. I do a bit of street rod work so I'm used to making stuff fit. ETrailer is a great place to buy from however and they are the best when it comes to customer support!

yes they are great however I sold my jeep and now will have to put another set on the 2012 ford f150 I bought. I will also need an install kit for the invisbrake system but need to see exactly what I saved from the jeep kit that can be transferred to the truck. You guys are still the best internet company around and I will be ordering from you when I figure it out. Hope all is well with you and everybody at etrailer

  • Will The Hopkins Tail Light Wiring Kit And Demco Stay-In-Play Duo Work On A 2008 Jeep Wrangler
    Yes, the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56200 and Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 would be compatible with your 2008 Jeep Wrangler. That being said, I'm not a big fan of the plug in diode kits like the # HM56200 because they tend to be wear out quicker and have way more issues than a splice-in diode kit. It can definitely seem scary cutting into the wiring but a splice-in kit like the # RM-15267 is the best way to go to prevent...

  • Base Plates, Tow Bar, and Accessories Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Jeep Wrangler X
    The Roadmaster MX base plates, # 1429-3, that you have referenced will fit the 2008 Jeep Wrangler X. However, the Hidden Hitch tow bar that you have is not compatible with the MX style base plates. You have 2 options. First, you could use the MX base plates and also get a compatible tow bar, the most popular of which is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. Or, you can get different base plates, # 1429-1, and use an adapter, # RM-025, with quick disconnects, # RM-201. The Hidden Hitch tow bar that you...
