I bought the Blue Ox Bumper Adapter, part # BX88358, for the Hammerhead Armor front bumper we installed on our 2021 Jeep Gladiator Overland. We plan to tow the Jeep behind our motorhome and the adapter lets us do that, while keeping a clean look for the Hammerhead bumper. Love it!

We towed our Jeep Gladiator from Alabama to the West Coast and back using the Blue Ox adapter with no issues. Takes a couple of minutes to align and secure the adapter pins. When we are not towing, I stow my adapters in a small bag, along with my Air Force One connection, towing light cable and pair of gloves. Leaves a nice clean look, not having a base plate. Still love it!

All of the products I have purchased have been very well made
Your shipping and tracking information is spot on and very fast
Everything functions above and beyond expectations!

Weve put over 6K miles on our RV and Jeep over the last year and plan on taking off again in a few weeks. Our Blue Ox adabpter fit perfectly with our Custom Bumper with built in tow package. Extremely tough as youd expect from anything Blue Ox

Box didn’t have any hardware in it (no pins, spacers, bolts, nuts et) only the adapters.

Very helpful when I was placing my order. Very professional and kind. Thank you etrailer



by:

The actual product appears to be good quality but is grossly over priced. I wouldn’t recommend this unless you have $xxx to throw away. There are very good quality alternatives.



by:

Awesome service and tracking tool. A fantastic experience … thanks guys!



by:

I first ordered the wrong part, within a couple days I had the correct one! Thanks to the delightful staff I ended up with an awesome hitch from very friendly staff, I'll definitely be ordering more in the future!



by:

Fit my after market bumper perfectly.



by:

I shopped with trailer before and once again I’m happy. They always have what I need and this time was no different. I needed to change out couplers on my blue ice tow bar after changing toads. Now I can tow the Jeep with off-road bumper!!! Awesome etrailer I will always recommend you guys!



by:

Great shipping



by:

This is the best addition. I had a hammer head number on my F250 and it is much cheaper to just buy these attachments. made hook up and disconnecting so easy my 10 year old son could do it.



by:

Worked out fantastic with my Westin WJ2 Bumper. Highly recommended vs buying a tow plate. Much cleaner looking.



by:

Overnight shipping was spot on these guys did perfect getting they to me in emergency. Perfect fit for Raptor with ADD HONEYBADGER BUMPER

  • D Ring Tow Bar Adapters And Flat Tow Setup For 2017 Jeep Wrangler
    Great question. The only adapter we have that will work with a Ready Brute is the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets for Ready Brute Elite Tow Bars # BX88297. This adapter, will work with the tow bar but won't work with the D-rings. You would need a blue ox base plate. For me to get you the proper base plate I would need more information about your bumper and some pics of it. We have two sizes of D-ring adapters 1 inch and 3/4 inch. Two examples of this would be the Adapter for Jeep...

    The good news is yes, you can use your DV8 bumper with a winch on your 2007 Jeep Wrangler to flat tow your vehicle. You'll just need to use an adapter like the Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars # BX88357, which has a 7/8" diameter pin, or the Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars # BX88358; You will just need to verify the size pin you need for your DV8 bumper.

  • Can A 2021 Ford Bronco With Modular Bumper Be Flat Towed From By The D-Rings
    I believe you're referring to the modular bumper on the 2021 Ford Bronco. From what I can find the D-Rings are only meant for recovery purposes and aren't currently listed as being rated to tow from. This could be outdated information though so I recommend reaching out to your local Ford dealer just to be sure that the specific model you have is capable of being towed from the D-Rings. If not, then the correct baseplate for the modular bumper is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU23XR, which...

  • Adapter to Flat Tow Jeep Wrangler with 1 inch D-Ring with Blue Ox Tow Bar
    Yes, since you have a 1 inch d-ring on your off-road bumper and a Blue Ox tow bar you can use a D-ring adapter like the Blue Ox 1-inch D-ring adapter part # BX88358 and you'd be set.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Set Up for a 2023 Jeep Wrangler w/ LOD Bumper
    Congrats on the new Jeep! It looks like the LOD signature bumper comes with the Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters item # BX88358 that fit the 1" D-rings so you will want to get a Blue Ox tow bar. I have linked a picture of the adapter below so you can confirm you have one. If not this is the one you will need to purchase, item # BX88358. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Blue Ox Ascent Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX4370. This tow bar features non-binding latches and a swivel function...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Set Up for a 2005 Jeep TJ
    We have three different options for base plates depending on what kind of bumper your 2005 Jeep TJ has. If you have the double tube bumper or standard factory bumper you will want the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1120. If you have an off-road bumper with flat towing rated d-rings you will need either the 7/8" D-Rings item # BX88357 or the 1" D-Rings item # BX88358 depending on how wide your Jeep's D-Rings are.

  • Base Plate Solution for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Jurassic Park with Oedro Bumper and D-Rings
    That's actually a bumper that your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Jurassic Park edition did not come with from the factory so you would need to go a different route. What you have is an Oedra bumper. Since your aftermarket bumper has D-rings you'd need to go with the D-ring base plate kit adapters like the part # BX88358. This kit fits 1 inch D-rings like it looks like your bumper has. If instead you have 7/8 inch D-rings you'd want the part # BX88357.

  • D-Ring Adapter For Blue Ox Tow Bar on Jeep Wrangler
    Thanks for that photo, and since you have a bumper with D-ring attachments, you would not need base plates; in fact, base plates wouldn't be able to be installed, so instead you would need a bumper adapter that attaches to the D-ring attachments. Your bumper does need to be rated for flat towing so you'll need to check with the manufacturer to ensure that if you're not certain, but if it is, and if the bumper has a 1" or 7/8" pin hole and the tab is 3/4", 7/8", or 1" then what you will...

    Of the two option I have available the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-521453-5 and the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit part # DM9519339 I really like the look of the Demco model. While it does add more to the front of the vehicle it does it in a very nice factory look. This has all of the attachment points and will keep you from having a pieced together look. When not in use the arms are removable for an even cleaner look. To use this with your Aventa II tow bar use the...

  • Recommended Blue Ox D-Ring Adapters For 1" D-Rings
    You'll first want to verify with the manufacturer that the bumper is rated for flat towing before actually using the D-Rings for this purpose. Since D-Ring adapters are only compatible with motorhome-mounted tow bars and would not work with your coupler-style mounted Blue Ox Acclaim # BX4330 you would need to get a different tow bar and 1" adapters # BX88358. For the tow bar you could use the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380.

  • Recommended Blue Ox Base Plate for a 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ
    Yes, it is. To add a Blue Ox base plate to your 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ you will want item # BX1120. This base plate kit works with both the double tube bumper or standard factory bumper. It is compatible with Blue Ox tow bars like the item # BX4330 you were looking at. There are also two D-ring adapters that will work with Blue Ox tow bars incase you are trying to flat tow with an aftermarket bumper. They are the 7/8" Off-Road Bumper Adapter item # BX88357 and the 1" Aftermarket Bumper...

It specifically states minimum of 0.871" and max hole diameter of 0.934", negligible difference. I suggest verifying the actual of diameter of your specific bumper for fitment.

  • Is There a Base Plate Kit for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited with Better Ground Clarence
    The only option you really have would be to remove the base plate from the vehicle and install an aftermarket bumper with d-rings which is rated for flat-towing. This would then allow you to use an adapter with your tow bar like the Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars part # BX88357 or part # BX88358 and have much better ground clearance. Unfortunately, there's really no such thing as a removable base plate kit and there aren't any other options with...

  • Will Blue-Ox Base Plate Kit Fit Jeep with Warn Elite Full Width Bumper
    I wouldn't be able to confirm fit of a base plate kit with the Warn Elite Full Width Bumper but since it has d-rings you can use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter part # BX88357 for 7/8" pins or part # BX88358 for 1" pins.

  • Can 2008 Jeep Wrangler with Smittybilt Stryker Bumper be Flat Towed
    The Smittybilt Stryker bumper has D-rings on it so yes it can be flat towed as long as you pick out the correct D-ring adapter. If they are 7/8 inch then the correct kit is the part # BX88357 that you referenced or if they are 1 inch you'd need the # BX88358. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes...

  • Can Off-Road Bumpers for 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited be Flat Towed with
    We don't have a list of bumpers that fit your vehicle that can be flat towed with. Your best solution would be to check with the manufacturer of the bumpers you are interested in to see if they will state it's okay to flat tow with them. Most likely you'd need to use a D-Ring adapter like the part # BX88358 which fits 1 inch D-rings.

  • Do the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapters Have a Weight Capacity
    The Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter part # BX88358 (1" Pin) and part # BX88357 (7/8" Pin) are an excellent option to attach a motorhome mounted Blue Ox Tow Bar such as the Blue Ox Ascent Tow Bar part # BX4370 to an aftermarket bumper with welded-on d-rings. The adapters don't have any sort of weight capacity but they can handle enough for any of the motorhome mounted tow bars they are designed to be used with so there should be no problems here.

If it is 7/8" then use part # BX88357 but if it is 1" use part # BX88358 instead.
