to make room for the 1/2"-13 x 1-1/2" carriage

bolt (#8) head and 1/4" square hole spacer (#9)

to pass through.

Repeat on the other side of the vehicle.

Step 13

Position the tow bar base plate (#1)

on the vehicle frame and install a supplied

M10 hex bolt (#5) with 3/8" conical washer (#6)

in the top, forward-most hole in the side plate.

Level the tow bar base plate and snug the

hardware, but do not fully tighten.

Repeat on the other side of the vehicle.

Step 14

Making sure the tow bar base plate is level,

use the top, rearward hole in the side plate as

a guide, drill a 1/2" hole in the vehicle frame.

Repeat on the other side of the vehicle.

spacer plate (#2) between the base plate (#1)

and vehicle frame.

Fishwire a 1/2"x 2-1/4" (#7) carriage bolt

and 1/4" square hole spacer (#9) into the top,

rearward hole, through the end of the frame

and secure it with a 1/2" flange nut (#10).

Then, rotate the spacer plate (#2),

making it flush with the base plate (#1).

Torque the 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft.

Repeat on the other side of the vehicle.

Step 16

Remove the top, forward-most bolt (#5, #6)

and reinstall the factory bumper bracket

between the base plate (#1) and vehicle frame.

Make sure the bumper bracket is flush with the

front of the vehicle frame and reinstall the hex

Step 17

Fishwire a 1/2" x 1-1/2" carriage bolt (#8) and

1/4" square hole spacer (#9) in the bottom

hole through the end of the frame into the base

plate (#1) and secure it with a flange nut (#10).

Enlarging the hexagonal hole with a 1/2" drill

bit may be necessary.

Torque 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft.

Repeat on the other side of the vehicle.

Step 18

Installing the Permanent Base Plate Safety Cables

When dinghy towing a vehicle with a tow bar, base plate safety cables should be used at all times.

In the event of a disconnect, the safety cables are designed to help prevent complete vehicle separation.

When installing the safety cables, use the illustrations below as a guide.

Installation guidelines

1. The cables must be connected to

the base plate and the vehicle frame.

2. Two cables must be installed.

3. Each cable must meet or exceed the

gross weight of the towed vehicle.

4. Make sure cables do not pinch or interfere

with hoses, wiring or other components.

Note: Base plate safety cables are not a replacement for safety chains connecting the tow vehicle to the towed vehicle.
