Blue Ox Base Plate Kit Installation - 2008 Honda CR-V- Video
Today in our 2008 Honda CRV we'll be having a look at and installing the Blue Ox baseplate kit with removable arms, part number BX2246. Here's what our base plate looks like installed. As you can see, it fits nicely in the opening of our fascia right here, no modification required to the fascia at all and it doesn't stick out past our license plate bracket which means it's a clean, unobtrusive look on the front of our vehicle. When it's not in use, we can put these plugs in here where our removable arms go and this'll help keep any dirt and debris out from entering in there making it difficult for us to insert our arms. To each side we have our nice, easy use safety cable attachment point. Found in the middle here we have our prongs which we can use to attach any electrical brackets that we may have, such as a six pole round or a four pole flat for our towed vehicle lighting or towed vehicle braking system. We have a nice mount that's included, a mounter breakaway switch if we're using a towed vehicle braking system. You can see we already have a breakaway switch mounted, this is not included you have to provide your own or it comes with your braking system. When we want to flat tow our CRV behind our coach, we simply remove our plug, keep it, take our removable arm, make sure our tab here is horizontal, stick it in place, push and twist and then our locking pin here locks into place so it can't rotate on out. If we want to remove it, pull the pin out, twist back 90 degrees and pull straight out. It's the same on both sides. These removable arms make it easy for us to attach to any Blue Ox tow bar. more
