The Blue Ox BX2304 Tow Bar Bracket is a high-quality, highly durable accessory that is custom designed for each specific towed vehicle. Made with robust steel, this bracket ensures superior strength and longevity. It comes in a sleek black color and features a powder coat finish for additional protection and enhanced aesthetic appeal. The bracket is easy to install with a convenient bolt-on mounting type, and includes all necessary mounting hardware. The Blue Ox Tow Bar Bracket promises to deliver reliable performance while simplifying the towing process.
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.

Yes, the BX2304 is designed specifically for 1994-1995 Hyundai Elantra. The manual does not confirm compatibility with other model years or generations of the Elantra.
The manual covers only 1994-1995 Hyundai Elantra. Compatibility with 1996 and later model years is not stated in this manual. Contact the manufacturer or a Blue Ox dealer to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
The following tools are required: 17mm socket, 17mm wrench, 10mm socket, Phillips head screwdriver, 3/4 inch socket, 3/4 inch wrench, and Loctite Blue. You will also need a jack to support the engine/transmission beam during installation.
The kit includes: one baseplate weldment (61-4405), one center mount bracket (101-5239), two 1/2-13 x 1 1/4 inch Grade 5 hex bolts (201-0011), two 1/2-13 hex nuts (202-0005), and two 1/2 inch lock washers (203-0012). The four tie-down bracket bolts and two engine/transmission beam bolts are reused from the vehicle.
The manual does not mention disconnecting the battery. However, you will be working near the windshield washer bottle and canister on both sides of the vehicle, so exercise caution around electrical components.
Yes. Step 7 explicitly states 'With assistance, position the baseplate up under the front,' indicating that at least one additional person is required to help position the baseplate during installation.
A jack is used to support the engine/transmission beam during installation. Position the jack under the midpoint of the longitudinal beam and adjust it to apply slight upward pressure. This is done in step 4 before removing the two front bolts from the beam.
Access requires partially removing the splash shield from each fender well. Remove three screws on each side (two on the lower edge and one up in the fender well) using a Phillips head screwdriver. On the driver's side, you must also unbolt the windshield washer bottle using a Phillips head screwdriver and 10mm socket (access from the fender well and under the hood). On the passenger's side, loosen the canister and slightly bend the mount bracket.
1. Remove splash shields and access components (washer bottle, canister). 2. Remove the two bolts from each tie-down bracket using a 17mm wrench. 3. Position a jack under the engine/transmission beam and apply slight upward pressure. 4. Remove the two front bolts from the engine/transmission beam using a 17mm socket. 5. Install the center support bracket using the bolts removed in step 4, applying Loctite but not fully tightening. 6. Position the baseplate, aligning holes on each side plate to tie-down bracket holes and center tab holes to the center support bracket. 7. Install the four tie-down bracket bolts (with Loctite) and attach the center bracket with the two 1/2-13 bolts, lock washers, and nuts (with Loctite). Do not tighten yet. 8. File any holes if necessary for bolt clearance. 9. Fully tighten the two engine/transmission beam bolts. 10. Tighten all other hardware. 11. Resecure the canister, washer bottle, and splash shields. 12. Install the tow bar and safety cables per their instructions.
Apply Loctite Blue to the threads of the center support bracket bolts (step 6) and to the four tie-down bracket bolts and two center bracket bolts (step 7). The manual specifies Loctite Blue and instructs not to fully tighten these bolts until step 9-10 when all hardware is tightened.
No drilling is required. The baseplate is designed to use existing holes on the vehicle. However, step 8 notes that dimensional variations between cars can be considerable, and it may be necessary to file a hole slightly to allow a bolt to clear.
No permanent modifications are required. The installation involves removing and resecuring the splash shields, windshield washer bottle (driver's side), and canister (passenger's side). On the passenger's side, you will slightly bend the canister mount bracket. All components are reinstalled after baseplate installation. Filing of holes may be necessary for bolt clearance but is not a permanent structural modification.
The manual does not provide torque specifications. It instructs to 'tighten' and 'fully tighten' hardware but does not specify torque values in foot-pounds or Newton-meters. Contact the manufacturer or a Blue Ox dealer for the correct torque specifications.
Permanent baseplate safety cables are strongly recommended when towing a vehicle with a tow bar. The cables must be connected from the baseplate to the frame rail or cross member of the vehicle's frame. They must have an adequate weight rating and must not be mounted against wires, hoses, or brake lines. Permanent baseplate safety cables are to be used in conjunction with, and NOT as a replacement for, legally required safety cables attaching the towed vehicle to the towing vehicle.
Do not substitute other devices if the tow bar pin and clip are lost. Obtain replacement parts from the manufacturer or a Blue Ox dealer.
The installer must watch for oil cooler and air conditioner lines, electrical wires, and hoses during installation. Do not mount the permanent baseplate safety cables against wires, hoses, or brake lines. If the baseplate is improperly installed and is against a wire or hose, it could cause fluid leaks or electrical shorts some time after installation. Ensure the baseplate is positioned correctly and does not contact any vehicle systems.
Before each towing trip, inspect all towing equipment for cracked welds, missing or worn parts, and loose bolts. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the recommended specifications using Loctite Red. Verify that the tow bar and safety cables are installed correctly per their manufacturer's instructions.
It is the owner's responsibility to inspect all towing equipment for cracked welds, missing or worn parts, and loose bolts before each towing trip. Use Loctite Red on all bolts and tighten to the recommended specifications. Permanent baseplate safety cables should remain installed as long as the baseplate is installed on the vehicle.
