Can I Change Roadmaster Crossbar Base Plate Kit on 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee to Direct-Connect

Question:

I have a Roadmaster Falcon towbar that I have used to tow a 2003 Jeep Wrangler equipped with a base plate and crossbar assembly. I recently purchased a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has a Roadmaster baseplate installed. I intend to use the same towbar but would like to use a direct connection from the frame mounted baseplate to the towbar. I have seen a lug setup for this purpose on your website for a 2019 Jeep Wrangler. Is this possible ?? Thank you

If your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee has the Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 1427-1 then you need the Replacement Crossbar # RM-067 to mount this to the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain # RM-522 or Falcon 2 RM-520 tow bar.

Otherwise if you're wanting to swap to the direct-connect style on your base plate kit end you'll need to use the Roadmaster Replacement Arms for Base Plate Kits # RM-ARMS - fill out the form on the page and send it in to Roadmaster. The arms you need to order are the C002383 for the direct-connect.
