Blue Ox is known internationally for recreational and commercial towing products, manufacturing in Pender, Nebraska since 1925. The line covers tow bars and vehicle-specific baseplates for flat towing behind a motorhome, sway control and weight distributing hitches, supplemental braking accessories and towing wiring, backed by patented designs and long-standing customer service.
Blue Ox has manufactured since 1925 and is recognised internationally for towing products and customer service. The company operates from Pender, Nebraska, where it grew out of Automatic Manufacturing Co., a business that started with cattle oilers and developed into agricultural equipment, tractor accessories and trailer towing hardware. That agricultural engineering heritage still shows in how the towing products are built, and the company holds patents across weight distribution, fifth wheel and tow bar designs.
Flat towing is the discipline Blue Ox is best known for. Towing a car with all four wheels on the ground behind a motorhome demands a system that stays rigid under braking, articulates properly over uneven ground, and connects to the towed vehicle at points strong enough to take the load. Blue Ox tow bars handle the first two, with self-aligning arms that latch under tension and release without a struggle when the load is off them. Vehicle-specific baseplates handle the third, engineered per make and model to tie into structural mounting points behind the fascia.
The wider flat towing range covers supplemental braking systems, safety cables and the accessories that make a complete legal setup, along with baseplate wiring and dinghy towing harnesses that pass lighting signals to the towed vehicle without back-feeding its electrical system.
For conventional trailer towing, Blue Ox weight distributing hitches with integrated sway control transfer tongue load onto the tow vehicle's front axle and resist the yaw that crosswinds and passing trucks induce.
The company describes its foundation as customer service, designing around what owners actually ask for, and it runs an RV park adjacent to the factory where customers can stay. Sister operations at the same Nebraska site include Automatic grain roller mills and MAD-RAMPS pivoting ramp systems.

The BX1124 is designed for 2003–06 Jeep Wrangler models with Double and Single Tube Bumper and Passenger Side Steering. Confirm your model year and steering configuration before purchasing. If your Wrangler has a different steering setup or bumper type, this base plate will not fit.
The BX1124 is a base plate (weldment part 61-6157) manufactured by Blue Ox for towing applications on 2003–06 Jeep Wranglers. It attaches to the frame and gearbox area to provide a mounting point for towing equipment. The base plate includes attachment tabs centered at 24 inches and 15 inches height.
You will need: 16MM socket, 9/16" socket, 7MM wrench, 13/32" drill bit, vise grips, and Loctite Blue. You will also need someone to help hold the gearbox and idler arm while removing the factory bolts.
Yes. During the first step, you must have someone hold the gearbox and idler arm while you remove the three metric bolts with a 16MM socket. This is a required part of the installation process.
Yes. You must drill four holes using a 13/32" drill bit on the driver's side of the frame. The baseplate is clamped in place with vise grips while drilling. This is a permanent modification to the frame.
1. Remove the three metric bolts on the passenger side while someone holds the gearbox and idler arm. 2. Hold the baseplate in place and insert the three existing bolts through the baseplate, frame, and gearbox; tighten with Loctite. 3. Clamp the baseplate on the driver's side with vise grips and drill four holes with a 13/32" drill bit. 4. Insert the nut plates (item 4) into the frame to align with the drilled holes, then tighten all bolts with Loctite.
Yes. The three existing bolts on the passenger side are reused. They are removed in step 1, then reinserted through the baseplate, frame, and gearbox in step 2. Loctite Blue must be applied to these bolts before tightening.
Loctite Blue is a threadlocker compound that must be applied to all bolts before tightening during BX1124 installation. It prevents bolts from loosening due to vibration. The manual specifies Loctite Blue as a required tool.
The BX1124 includes: 1 base plate weldment (61-6157), 4 hex bolts 3/8-16 x 1.5" Grade 5 (201-0440), 4 lock washers 3/8" (203-0010), 4 nut plates 3/8-16 with 14" wire (61-5208), 2 self-drilling screws #12-14 x 1" (201-0979), 2 hex nuts #10-32 (202-0047), 2 lock washers #10 (203-0054), 2 slot round head screws #10-32 x 1/2" (201-0192), 2 four-way connector adapters (101-5822), 2 attachment tabs (62-3468), and 2 black cap plugs (290-0437).
The attachment tabs are centered at 24 inches and at 15 inches height on the base plate. This information is provided to help position the base plate correctly during installation.
The BX8869 is an optional component available from Blue Ox. The manual notes that holes need to be drilled and that the BX8869 is available, but does not specify what the BX8869 is, what it does, or whether it is required. Contact your Blue Ox dealer for details on whether this component is needed for your application.
No. The manual explicitly states: "Use only genuine factory replacement parts on your Base Plate. Do not substitute homemade or nontypical parts." If a bolt is lost or needs replacement, use a replacement bolt of the same grade (usually Grade 5). Repair parts may be ordered through your nearest Blue Ox dealer or distributor.
Use a replacement bolt of the same grade as the original. The BX1124 typically uses Grade 5 bolts (such as part 201-0440, which is a 3/8-16 x 1.5" Grade 5 hex bolt). Refer to the parts list to confirm the grade of the bolt you are replacing. Order genuine replacement parts through your nearest Blue Ox dealer or distributor.
