Removable Tabs:
Due to the design of the removable tabs, the
RangeFinder II tow bar can not be used. Adapters,
except for the BX8833 and the BX88151, can not
be used with this baseplate.
Instructions:
The front fascia is removed and reinstalled for
the baseplate installation. Drilling is required.
The back of the fascia may require trimming.
The bumper brace on the passenger’s side and
bumper is removed. Metal bumper will not be
reinstalled.
The dimensional variations between otherwise
identical vehicles can be considerable.
While the baseplate was designed for easy
installation, it may be necessary to tailor the
baseplate slightly to compensate for auto
manufacturer’s tolerances. These minor
adjustments may include ling a hole slightly,
bending electrical rods or bending end plates.
The BX8869 Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit is
available for this vehicle.
