The base plate requires more work to install then the base plate that I put into my last 2005 Honda CR-V. What I found was to remove the the bumper support from the vehicle then motify the frame area, fit the tow bar then motify the bumper support and install this piece. It should also be noted in the instruction sheet that the tow bar should be installed with the base plate even with the bottom of the frame area for bolting purpose,otherwise there could be a problem with the bottom bolt holes in getting the bolts in.I would say that other than that it was a simple install. Some other tools were required other than those listed. I used an air powered cutting blade to cut the metal. Unable to get a sawzall into the area. About 10 hours with the wiring to complete the project. You need to tighten the top bolts before installing the bumper support. Unable to get the bumper support in with the metal rods attached to the nut.
