Attachment Tabs:
Motorhome mount tow bars are recommended for
use with this baseplate. Due to the design of the
removable tabs, the RangeFinder II, Adventurer
and Ambassador tow bars can not be used. The
Acclaim tow bar may be used, but will not fold
and store on the front of the vehicle. Adapters,
except for the BX8833 and the BX88151, can not
be used with this baseplate.
Instructions:
The grille, front fascia, hood latch, horn bracket,
turbo cooler, air dam, and metal bumper are
removed and reinstalled.
Trimming of frame, air dam and grille is required.
Drilling is required.
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
recommended for this vehicle.
