I was looking for something to join two specific products- 2021 Full size Bronco and the Falcon All Terrain Tow bar I acquired from a friend. So I went on etrailers website and sought that out. After finding something I thought was right, I wanted to be sure by asking their amazing customer service. I got a reply very quickly that the product I was looking at would not work. Kevin, the customer rep, found what I needed(which was actually for a jeep) but fit my application. It was cheaper and easier that what I had picked out too! I received it about a week later and it fits perfectly. I need to wire the Bronco now for lights but I am very excited to take her for a spin. This is not the first nor the last product I will buy from etrailers and I will never hesitate to ask their wonderful customer service! Keep up the great work guys!!

The product still works like it did a year ago. I now have the Bronco wired and the cords dont bind or get in the way at all. The ease of the hook up and disconnect is so convenient that it almost feels like cheating. Great Customer Service and recommendations from this company!!

2017 Jeep Wrangler

The adapters seem to have some slop, contacted Etrailer and was told to contact Roadmaster. I have almost 1/4 inch slop, Roadmaster says the gap is not uncommon and to add washers to take up slop. We will see how it works out.

Direct fit on my roadmaster tow bar to connect to my JK DV8 bumper D-rings. Shipping was fast and on time.

They work great. I would highly recomend getting the padlocks to secure because I have had the hitch pins work loose and almost come out.

Excalibur

Great product I bought it for a Excalibur ll towbar hook up.
They do fit the bar but you will need to use spacers if you remove the bar end pieces. However being a machinist I elected to bore .015-.020 from bar end ID which I felt was best. Pic before adding the bored ends.

The USPS said it put the package in a locker. We have no lockers in my neighborhood, only mail boxes. I have complained to the USPS. On the day they said they delivered it, no one on my street received any mail. As far as I am concerned, if you are going to use the USPS for delivery, I cannot do business with you. The USPS is a poorly run operation and the victims have no recourse.

I am sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience with the shipping. We do use other sources for shipping outside of USPS. I am sending your information over to our customer service department for them to get this corrected for you.

Works as advertised. Jeep is lifted with 35 inch tires so had to purchase another adapter to level tow bar. Using these on D-ring tabs on Poison Spyder winch bumper. Easy to install and use.



by:
2010 Jeep Wrangler

O.K. I'll play... Fantastic fit for a casting. I wasn't expecting this to work well, given that I couldn't find one single online explanation nor video of "towing a jeep from bumper eyelets". The weight savings of using the aftermarket bumper D-rings vs. the tow adaptor plate, common with many T.O.A.D. towbar manufacturers is huge. These make the transition to towing the jeep much easier. A perfect retrofit for the arm ends of a Sterling towbar... product from Roadmaster

Needed adapters to go from my RoadMaster tow bar to the new D ring mounts I had put on the Jeep. The new ones fit right on and also look good, along with very beefy.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Components For A 1999 Jeep Wrangler TJ
    Unfortunately We don't carry replacement bumpers like you're wanting so you would need to contact SmittyBilt directly to get a bumper that's rated for flat towing and would have D-Rings that are capable of being flat-towed from. The suppliers we have for baseplates haven't verified every single bumper will fit with the way the baseplates mount so a D-Ring setup would end up being a much safer choice with no room for error. From there we have Roadmaster D-Ring adapters that can connect...

  • Recommended Parts For Flat-Towing 1998 Jeep Wrangler TJ
    The base plates you can install on your Jeep depend on the bumper style you have. If you have a U-channel bumper the base plates that will work are part # 1417-1. If you have an off-road bumper with the 1-inch D-Ring bumper mounts then the base plates for your Jeep are part # RM-035-1, and if you have the off-road bumper with 3/4-inch D-ring bumper mounts the base plates you can use are part # RM-035. If you have a double tube bumper I recommend the part # RM-521424-5 EZ5 base plates. For...

The tab mounts available show they fit a 7/8" or 1" diameter hole so double check your measurement as well before ordering.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1993 Isuzu Trooper RS with Jeep DV8 Front Bumper Installed
    Do you know the diameter of the holes on the D-Ring mounts that are on the bumper? If so then you could use Blue Ox adapter such as # BX88296 for 7/8 inch diameter if that is the hole size. There are also options for 3/4 inch D-Rings # RM-035 or 1 inch rings # RM-035-1 but you would then have to use a Roadmaster tow bar such as the Falcon 2 # RM-520. If you go with the Roadmaster set up then the tow bar does not come with safety cables like the Blue Ox Aventa LX does. So for safety cables...

  • Parts Need to Flat Tow 2015 Jeep Wrangler JKU with AEV Bumper
    I checked with AEV and Roadmaster and found that you can use the D-ring mounts on that bumper to flat tow the Jeep. If the D-ring mounts are 3/4 inches thick with 7/8 inch or 1 inch diameter holes you can use # RM-035 with a Roadmaster tow bar. If the D-ring mounts are 1 inch thick with 7/8 inch or 1 inch diameter holes you can use # RM-035-1. The tow bar would have to be an RV mount model such as the Falcon 2 # RM-520.

  • Can I Use the Roadmaster Adapter for Jeep D-Rings on a 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ
    The only time you can use the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts # RM-035 or # RM-035-1 is when the actual D-rings on the bumper are bolted directly to the frame of your TJ. Without the reinforced connection directly to the frame it's not safe to use those D-rings for flat towing. If you can provide a better photo of the front of your Wrangler TJ, I'm happy to have a closer look and see if we can provide you with an alternative solution.

  • Will Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar Work On 1995 Jeep YJ with D-Ring Adapters
    In order to use the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar part # RM-501 on a 1995 Jeep YJ you'll need a base plate kit, the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 1409-3 or part # 1409-1. The Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts like part # RM-035-1 work work as it's for motorhome mounted tow bars only and the Roadmaster StowMaster is a vehicle mounted tow bar. In regards to determining whether or not the d-rings are used for towing, the final say so will come from the manufacturer.

    Hello David. Based on what I can see online the Barricade Alloy Bumper has welded D-rings. Provided this bumper is tow rated, I suggest using the Roadmaster D-ring adapters # RM-035 for 3/4" thick D-Rings or # RM-035-1 for 1" and use a Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar, # RM-522. I do suggest that you contact the manufacturer of this bumper and verify that it is rated for flat towing. If the bumper is not tow rated, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77VR...
