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!

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!

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!

Great shipping

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:

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.

  • Parts Needed to Tow 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK with Blue Ox D-Ring Adapter Kit
    As long as you've got an aftermarket bumper with D-ring plates at least 5/8" thick, you can use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter - 1" Pin # BX88358 to flat tow your 2007 Jeep Wrangler. To complete your flat towing setup you'll also need a compatible tow bar, tow bar wiring, safety cables, supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter. For a tow bar I recommend using the Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 10,000 lbs # BX7420, which is compatible with the D-ring...

  • 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.

  • Will My Blue Ox Base Plate that Fits My 2017 Jeep Wrangler Fit My 2021 Jeep Wrangler?
    From the sound of your question, I assume that you are looking to see if your base plate from a 2017 Jeep Wrangler JK will fit your newer 2021 Wrangler. The compatibility of a Blue Ox Tow bar for a 2017 Jeep Wrangler JK with a 2021 Jeep Wrangler depends on what bumper setup you have on your vehicle and how you are mounting your base plates. For example, if you have a standard factory bumper on your 2017 model and are using the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX1126, you will need to get a new base...

    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.

  • 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...

It would be hard to say if this would fit with an aftermarket bumper. But if you go with an aftermarket bumper that has D-rings there are adapters for them. The Ascent tow bar part # BX4370 would work great with the base plate kit or possibly a d-ring adapter like the part # BX88357 for a 7/8 inch d-ring or part # BX88358 for a 1 inch d-ring.
