Well built tow eyes

It took a few hours to install on our 16 Wrangler. Each piece was true to size, the instructions were easy to follow and well written with great photos.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Only available in black

Roadmaster Jeep Base

Seems well made and I love the fact that it's made in the USA. Installation was easy and fairly easy. Very soon we will connect the jeep to our camper and take a trip, maybe later, after the actual use, he will have more information.

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Nothing

Great product for towing, best suited for hitches

Relatively easy to install on our 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I was particularly pleased with the wire attached to some of the frame nuts, which made assembly a lot easier. Quality design and protective coating. We towed our Jeep over 4,000 miles with this setup with no problem.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Jeep from Hell on a hitch

After reviewing the installation documentation, I took it to a professional installer. It took longer than expected and took about 3 hours after release to install. He said it was a jeep from hell. I think he had problems with holes. When I picked it up just before lunch the next day, I had Kentucky Friend Chicken fresh and hot for everyone who worked there. The bottom plate looks great.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Everything OK

Heavy duty, easy installation

I just attached it to my 2012 Jeep Wrangler JK to tow behind my RV. It took me a few hours and a few YouTube videos to build my confidence, but it was pretty easy. Great, powerful unit. All the parts I needed were included, but I'd like some extra thrust anchors for my heat shield. Luckily I didn't break anything. I didn't have extra hands when putting on the bumper so I just used a 5 gallon bucket to support the other end. Worked great. Don't forget to get Loctight Red for the screws.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Not bad

Needs better packaging/shipping.

Pros: Fast delivery, solid construction, good welds. Much stronger removable pins than my old Blue Ox. Bad: Large scratches on the part of the bracket that is visible from the front. Apparently this is caused by those hefty pins dangling in bpx. Because of the scratches on it. Very disappointing. The mounts had a gasket, but they didn't hold the pin spacer. A quarter of bubble wrap would have saved me from repainting PIA. Also, the detachable ends that attach to the hitch are at least 3 16…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Negligible serviceability
