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!

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!

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.

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!

- Can 2015 Ram 3500 with Fabfours Bumper be Flat TowedYou 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.

- 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport recommended Blue Ox Parts for Flat Towing with Off-Road BumperThanks for all the details Jason! 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. With that being said, here are the parts I recommend for your application: - Tow Bar Adapters 7/8" # BX88357 or 1" # BX88358 - Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420 ...

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 This could be outdated information though so I recommend reaching out to your local Ford dealer just to be sure that the specific model you have is capable of being towed from the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...

- 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...

Glad you're enjoying the site and we can absolutely get your 2016 Jeep Wrangler with an XRC front bumper ready to flat tow. First you'll need the base plate adapters to connect to your D-rings, and the correct one is going to depend on the size of the pin hole on your bumper, which is likely 7/8" but could be 1" so you'll want to verify that size and then you can use either of the following: - 7/8" Pin: Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter # BX88357 - 1" Pin:...

- Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2022 Jeep Gladiator with D-Rings on Front BumperFlat towing setups can end up being pretty expensive. Especially when you pay to have the components installed but that does seem high. Since you like Blue Ox and your Gladiator has D-rings you'd need either the part # BX88357 if you have 7/8 inch D-rings or the part # BX88358 if you have 1 inch D-rings. 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...

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.

These adapters will replace the standard knuckle on the end of the tow bar. You will need to ensure your tabs are no more than 1-1/8" wide and your bumper is rated for towing as often times the tabs are not reinforced enough making them strong enough for the constant forces of flat towing.

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!
