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

the BX8833 and BX88151, can not be used with

this baseplate.

Instructions:

The fascia and plastic cover are removed

and reinstalled for the baseplate installation.

Drilling is required.

Trimming of the frame rail 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 ﬁling a hole slightly,

bending electrical rods, and/ or bending end

plates.

The Bx8869 Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit is

recommended for this vehicle.

2. From the plastic cover on the top edge of the

fascia, remove ﬁve Phillips pushpins from the

passenger’s side. Remove the black plastic. Set

pushpins and plastic aside to reinstall later.

3. Directly below the plastic cover just removed, use

a 10MM socket to remove two metric bolts from the

top of the metal bumper bracket. Set bolts aside to

reinstall later.

the front tire, remove three pushpins. Do this to

both sides of the vehicle. Set pushpins aside to

reinstall later.

5. Remove four pushpins found on the bottom of the

fascia. Set pushpins aside to reinstall later.

6. Remove the pushpin near the tie down bracket at

the front of the wheel well. Do this to both sides of

the vehicle. Set pushpins aside to reinstall later.

7. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the metric bolt

just forward of the front tire on the wheel well. Do

this to both sides of the vehicle. Set pushpins aside

to reinstall later. Pull fascia forward to remove.

bumper. Between the headlight and the bumper are

three bolts. Using a 12MM socket, remove the two

larger metric bolts. Using a 10MM socket, remove

the smaller metric bolt. Repeat this for the three

metric bolts found below the metal bumper. Do

this to both sides of the vehicle. Set bolts aside to

9. On the side of the frame, bend the tab down ﬂush with the frame side, using the hammer. Do this to both

sides of the vehicle. Mark an area to be trimmed on the bumper bracket on the frame end. Begin marking

on the side of the bracket level with the bottom of the dimple found on the side of the frame (see the arrow

in Photo 9-B). On the front of the side bumper bracket make a mark approximately 1 1/2” in toward the

radiator to be ﬂush with the side of the frame rail just behind the bumper bracket. This top horizontal cut is

approximately 4 3/4” from the top of the bracket, and the lower horizontal cut is 8 3/4” from the top of the

bracket. Mark a vertical line on the front of the bracket, ﬂush with the side of the frame rail. Do this to both

sides of the vehicle.

10 11. The newly cut area should be treated with spray

paint as an anti-corrosive measure.

10. Begin removing this area with the reciprocating

saw by ﬁrst cutting the two horizontal cuts into the

bumper bracket. It will take several vertical cuts to

remove the marked area and make it ﬂush with the

frame. Do this to both sides of the vehicle.

12. Reinstall metal bumper. Only one bolt per side

needs to be reinstalled because the bumper is

removed again shortly. On the lower bumper

bracket, mark a square area around the bolt hole

closest to the outermost bumper bracket edge.

Note that the vertical cut will be ﬂush with the side

of the frame. Do this to both sides of the vehicle.

Remove the metric bolts securing the metal

bumper. Pull bumper forward to remove. With

the metal bumper on a stable surface, use the

reciprocating saw to cut the marked area around

the bolt hole. Doing this prepares the area for

baseplate installation.

13. Guide baseplate so that its curved area, as

indicated by the white arrow in the photo above,

hugs the ribbed area of the frame. Position the

baseplate until one of its bolt holes aligns with a

pre-existing nut on the frame, as indicated by the

grey arrow in the photo above. Do this to both

sides of the vehicle. Using a large Vise grip, clamp

the baseplate into place.

14. Using the baseplate as a template, drill into the

frame through the four remaining baseplate holes

using a 13/32” drill bit. Guide the 3/8-16 nut plates

through openings in the frame and frame rail

openings to align with the baseplate holes. Insert

3/8-16 x 1 ½ hex bolts with 3/8” lock washers and

tighten to nut plates. Do this to both sides of the

vehicle.

15. Reinstall the metal bumper. NOTE: It is

recommended to slide one side of the bumper in

ﬁrst and then make adjustments so the other side

can slide under the headlight assembly. It may

be necessary to loosen the metric bolts of the

headlight assembly in order to guide the bumper

under the headlight assembly.
