Base plate question

[ACDNate]

Have a buddy with a Jeep that the previous owner pulled behind their motorhome. Trying to figure out what kind of tow bar i need to pull it with.

It has the connection points for the tow bar on the front of the jeep. We looked at it and can't find any kind of manufacturers info on the connection point.





Are the base plates pretty standard across the board? Or could this be some kind of proprietary system?

What kind of tow bar do i need?

Thanks,

Nate

looks like my Demco for my Saturn

A Demco dominator will hook right up to it. I found mine brand new on ebay 50% off.

I believe you can make Remco and blueox interchange on towbar connectors.

Not my jeep. A buddy coming on the trip has the jeep.

Why are you only going to use it once?

I found my tow bar on Craigslist. You also need safety cables, a light cable, a braking system for the jeep and a breakaway cable. None of it is cheap.

Jeep has a light connection in place. I have a brake buddy to borrow. Think I'll be able to bring the jeep fairly cheap to try it out

Since you are only going to tow it once, check out a A frame tow bar at auto parts or harbor freight type store and make it attach to that jeep. I did this once when I was traveling in my toad and bought a motor home on the trip and needed to tow the toad back home 600 miles.

Demco. Ready Brute tow bar is available with a Demco compatible tab.

Looks like the baseplate on my 2015 Wrangler which I know is
a Blue Ox because my wife and I installed it.

So I don't necessarily have to have the same brand of tow bar?
