Can Blue Ox Tow Bars Be Connected To a Roadmaster Base Plate On 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Overland?
Question:
Will our existing Blue Ox Tow Bar pair up with the RM777ZR Base Plate, Also is there any cutting required for from grill area or does it fit through the tow hook hole/boot? Thank You

To attach your Blue Ox tow bars to the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77ZR on your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Overland trim you will need the Adapter Kit # RO64FR to replace the ends on your Blue Ox tow bars.
The Roadmaster base plate will require you to trim a hole in the fascia honeycomb grill insert just below the front motion sensors. You can keep your tow hooks with this kit and I have attached a copy of the installation instructions below that have very detailed pictures that allow you to see where the holes are trimmed.
The Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 will supply you with the wiring and diodes needed to be able to connect the tail lights on your Jeep to work while it is being flat towed.
I recommend the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524 if you do not already have another portable braking system that you are using. This will allow you to use the same braking system in multiple vehicles by simply adding a Dash Mount Connector # HM39342, Breakaway System # HM39340 and Charge Line # BB54FR to any additional vehicle.
