How hard to install baseplate on 05 Liberty?

[Romer1]

Can anyone tell me how hard it would be to install a Demco baseplate on an 05 Jeep Liberty. Easy enough to do myself or should I pay the $350 to have it done?

[Romer1]

Thanks for all the replies. Not sure I feel comfortable doing it myself.

I installed a Demco baseplae on an 05 Liberty 10 years ago. Avery straight forward project that took about half a day start to finish. I think there were a couple holes to drill and a couple of trick fasteners that were supplied. I think that the grill and lower trim is removed to install then replaced. If you are fairly handy and have a pretty good tool box, go for it!
Good luck!

I'm going to assume that your 05 Liberty is very similar to an 04. Try this YouTube Video for a step by step installation. I've installed four Blue Ox Base Plates on four diffent vehicles, the latest was last week on my Chevy Equinox and it was the hardest, but I'm a lot older than when I installed the first one and I didn't have access to all the tools I would have liked to have had. But it still went together very easily. I'm bettin' you can do it.

I did a blue ox on our 2010 liberty, took about 3 hours, wasn't a problem.

There should be a spot on Demcos site to read about the install. It should be pretty strait forward with pictures and the step by step process to do it. Then you could make a decision to whether or not you would like to tackle the project. Good Luck!

I put one on my 2012 Liberty. If you a little handy it shouldn't be a problem. Read the instructions and they will give you an idea what you have to do, then decide.

I've put a few base plates on different vehicles and they are simple. Haven't done a Liberty but I can't imagine it would be difficult.

Put a blue ox on my 04 liberty, a couple years ago. No problem, just had to get a rivet gun for plastic rivets to put the plastic front back on. took about three hours.

Just put a Demco on the vehicle I'll be towing soon, a 2008 HHR. Now I realize it's not what your asking, but the install was straight forward and fairly easy.
