Base plate setup for JK
Hello,
I am looking for opinions on what the best option is for a base plate to tow our 2010 Sahara JK behind the Motorhome. I have looked at the Roadmaster, Blue OX, Demco, and Currie base plates but I am little concerned how all of them hang below the bumper. I am afraid I could damage them going off road. At this point I do not plan on going rock crawling, but I have found I should never say never.
Another option that I am considering is a Hanson Mid bumper. My concerns with this option is 1. Will the D-ring mounts work to mount a towbar? I know I will need to get some customer clevis' to fit the D-ring mounts but will these mounts hold up to towing the jeep 5 - 10K miles a year. 2. I am planning on using the Ready Brute towbar so I am not sure how I will be able to route the brake cable around the Hanson bumper.
Thanks in advance for any input you might offer.
