Blue Ox Base Plate Kit Installation - 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee- Video
Speaker 1: Today in this 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit with removable arms, part #BX1128.Now the reason you're going to want a base plate like this for your Grand Cherokee is that this will allow you to safely and easily hook up a tow bar to your vehicle so you can safely flat tow it behind a motor home. Here's what our base plate looks like installed. What's great about this base plate is that it's designed to work in the cutouts where your factory tow hooks would be on your vehicle. If your vehicle doesn't have factory tow hooks there is an area that you can follow to easily score out with a utility knife to remove it and have access to your removable arms.The way the arms work, you simply take the arm, have this tab at a horizontal angle, push it in and twist it 90 degrees, and it'll lock into place with the spring loaded pin. The way this pin works is it prevents it from rotating so you can't take out the arm and this is where your tow bar will attach to. When you want to remove it, simply pull on the pin, twist and you pull off the arm.To help keep dirt and debris from entering the socket we do have these included cups which just slide into place and it'll make it easy for you to reinsert your arms when you need to because it keeps all the road debris, and dirt, and whatnot out of there. more

Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit Installation - 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee- Video
Today on our 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee we'll be having a look at, and installing, the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit with removable arms, part number RM-521440-4. Here's what a Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit looks like installed. As you'll notice, it's a nice, clean look, which doesn't stick out very far from our factory tow hook opening here. It replaced our factory tow hooks, giving us a very clean and subtle look on our vehicle. Most people, when they look at the front of your Jeep, they won't even be able to tell that it's been set up to be flat towed behind a motor home. We have this nice, easy to use, safety chain attachment point to hook up to. What I like about this, compared to some other base plates on the market, is that it sticks far away from any painted surface, so when you're clipping your safety cable or chain onto there, you don't have to worry about the cable dangling, and hitting your painted surfaces and scratching them. Closer to the center of our vehicle, off of the driver's side, we have these two prongs here for our optional wiring bracket, which you can your six pull round, your four way flat, or whatever other electrical connection you need for a towed vehicle lighting system, or an airline fitting for a towed vehicle breaking system. more
