I received this today and installed on my blue ox tow bar. Everything fits as it should and looks like it will do a good job for me towing my jeep.



by:

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!



by:

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!

etrailer has done it AGAIN! Every time I have used their products or needed help with technical issues, they always come through! Great company and staff!
The tow bar assembly for my aftermarket Jeep bumper fit perfectly! Thanks again!

Great heavy duty construction!

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



by:

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



by:

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:

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:

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



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:

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



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:

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



by:

Worked w/ Jeep aftermarket bumper



by:

Using the search function in the website was very easy, this was a specialized bracket for an aftermarket bumper that I thought would be very difficult to find. etrailer made it easy!



by:

The bumper adapter arrived with as advertised with all the hardware.

Everything was in good order as anticipated. The best thing is etrailer Customer Service along with helpful videos. Great job!

  • Blue Ox Compatible Base Plate for a 2018 JL Jeep Unlimited
    Since you have a Blue Ox tow bar, the best base plate for your 2018 Jeep JL Unlimited Sport is going to be the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1139. This kit works if you have the factory steel or plastic bumper. I have linked an installation video below so you can understand the process. If you have an Off-Road bumper - with 7/8 inch D-Ring bumper mounts you will need the item # BX88357. If your Off-Road Bumper has 1 inch D-Ring bumper mounts you will need the item # BX88358.

  • Is There A Compatible Baseplate Available For A 2012 Jeep Wrangler With A SmittyBilt XRC Bumper
    We don't have a confirmed fitting baseplate for a Smittybilt XRC bumper, but since it has a D-Ring mounts you could reach out to Smittybilt and see if this bumper is rated for towing from the D-Rings. If so then you would just need to measure the thickness of the rings to see which adapter will fit. Blue Ox currently offers two adapters, 7/8" thick D-Rings # BX88357 or 1" thick D-Rings # BX88358, that would be compatible with your Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420. If the bumper...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2013 Jeep Wrangler with Off Road Bumper
    For a base plate kit tow tow your 2013 Jeep Wrangler that has an off road bumper with 1 inch D-rings you'd need to start with the # BX88358 for a Blue Ox setup. Then for a tow bar you'd want the # BX7420 which is the easiest to use and allows the vehicle to track the best behind the coach. For lighting you'd want the # RM-152-98146-7. The diode kit that comes with this allows you to splice into the taillight wiring so that your RV controls the vehicle taillights and does not require drilling...

  • Can 2015 Ram 3500 with Fabfours Bumper be Flat Towed
    You can probably come up with a way to install the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX1989 on your 2015 Ram and fit with your Fabfours bumper but we don't have specific instructions for that or how much modification would be required. It does look like your bumper has D-rings so a D-ring adapter base plate kit would be a solution like with the part # BX88357 for if they are 7/8 inch or the part # BX88358 for if they are 1 inch.

  • Adapter that Could be Used with Warn Bumper of 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
    As long as the Warn Elite front bumper you are looking at has the 1 inch D-ring you can use the # BX88358 or if they are 7/8 inch you'd instead need the # BX88357. 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 with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting...

    Sounds like you've gotten some good use out of the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1126 for your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited! Jeep actually had a generation swap mid-year for 2018 models so your 2020 Wrangler Unlimited will use a different base plate kit which I've listed out for you below: Standard Factory Bumper - # BX1139 Off-Road Bumper with 1" D-Ring Mounts with a 1 inch pin diameter - # BX88358 Off-Road Bumper with 1" D-Ring Mounts with a 7/8 inch pin diameter - # BX88357 If you have...

  • How to Use Blue Ox Tow Bar on 2004 Jeep TJ With Off-Road Bumper
    So the Demco base plates are not able to use a Blue Ox Attain tow bar, nor work with the bumper on your 2004 Jeep TJ. I know you mentioned rather not using the adapters, but that really is the only way I know of to use your tow bar on your Jeep with your Smittybilt bumper. The right adapter will depend on the size of your D-ring pin hole: - 7/8" Pin Hole: Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter # BX88357 - 1" Pin Hole: Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter # BX88358 Then for your tow bar wiring,...

To get a Blue Ox tow bar to fit with the shackles on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport you'll need either the 7/8" # BX88357 or 1" # BX88358 Adapters, but just be sure to check with the manufacturer of your off-road bumper because not all bumpers with shackles are rated for flat towing.

  • 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.

  • Recommended Adapter to Flat Tow 2017 Toyota 4Runner with Aftermarket Front Bumper
    We don't carry any aftermarket bumpers for your 4Runner but that is the route I recommend. The reason is that adding a bull bar or a grille guard will interfere with the mounting locations of baseplates, so you can't have both. If you get a heavy duty front bumper with D-rings then you can use those as your baseplates using your Blue Ox Tow Bar and the corresponding adapter: -Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter - 7/8" Pin # BX88357 -Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter - 1" Pin...
