How Can I Hook A Blue Ox Tow Bar To A 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport
Question:
I am buying a 2017 wrangler unlimited sport. I already have the Blue Ox tow bar for my motorhome. Which adapter do I need to hook the hooks on the jeep to my blue ox tow bar?

Hello Barbara. If your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has D-rings on the bumper, you can use the Blue Ox D-Ring Adapters to connect your jeep to your tow bar. You can use the # BX88358 adapters for 1" D-rings or the # BX88357 adapters for 7/8" D-rings.
If you do not have a D-ring bumper you will need to use a frame-mounted base plate. For the 2023 Wrangler Unlimited you will need part # BX1126. Keep in mind that this is for the base model with the standard factory bumper. If your Jeep is a special edition, or has a different bumper just let me know in the comments below and I am happy to recommend the correct parts.
