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!!

Using these I was able to mount the tow bar to some generic recovery points to tow my FJC.

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.

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.

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

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.

  • Compatibility of Front Hitch Mounted Snow Plow and Base Plates for 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    For your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, there is not yet a confirmed fit front mounted hitch receiver for you to utilize with a plow from any of our manufacturers. Even if there was, that wouldn't allow you to flat tow 4 down with and you would need to utilize another connection point. Because the baseplates will use the same mounting points to the frame as a hitch (which I'm confident will come available soon), you will need another attachment point.

  • Recommended D-Ring Adapter To Flat-Tow 2019 Jeep Wrangle With Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper
    As long as the Iron Cross bumper on your 2019 Jeep Wrangler is flat-tow rated and has D-Rings that are 3/4" thick or 1" thick you can use the bumper instead of base plates for flat towing. You will need to contact Iron Cross directly to confirm that you can flat tow with your bumper. If you bumper is flat-tow rated you can use the Roadmaster Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper # RM-035 if the D-Rings are 3/4" thick or the Roadmaster Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper # RM-035-1 if the D-Rings are...

  • Overall Width Of The Roadmaster D-Ring Adapter # RM-035-1
    The Roadmaster D-Ring Adapter # RM-035-1 is approximately 2-1/8" wide so it would technically fit between the direct-connect fittings on your baseplates, but they aren't intended for this kind of use so if anything went wrong you would be liable. The safest course of action would be to swap the adapter and direct-connect attachment points on/off as needed between the two vehicles.

  • Tow Bar and Adapters to Flat Tow a 1999 Jeep Cherokee With D Rings
    I do have a tow bar solution for you, but the first thing that you will need to be able to tow your 1999 Jeep Cherokee with the D Rings is an adapter. Since most cars usually install base plates for flat towing, we will need to use an adapter, like part # RM-035-1 which are for 1 inch shackle mounts or # RM-035 which are for 3/4 inches shackle mounts, to be able to connect your D rings to the tow bar. Keep in mind that your D rings need to be rated for flat towing. The Roadmaster Falcon...

  • Locks For Roadmaster D-Ring Tow Bar Adapters That Will Fit 1-1/2" of Clearance Next To D-Ring
    I recommend using the Master Lock 1-9/16" Wide Solid Brass Body Padlock # ML140DLH with the Hitch Pin # RM-910044 for the Roadmaster D-Ring Adapters # RM-035-1. The locks have a 1/4" diameter that will fit inside the Roadmaster pin. This will be much easier to fit with the tow bars on your d-ring bumper connections. The InfiniteRule Locking Pins # IR44FR will be difficult to position in the pin with the tow bar taking up the narrow 1-1/2" measurement you have. We currently do not have...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2022 Jeep Gladiator with D-Rings on Front Bumper
    Flat 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...

  • Flat Towing 1997 Jeep Wrangler Automatic
    Yes, the Jeep Wrangler (1997-2021) is the most popular flat tow vehicle among RVers. Thanks to its modest size, the Wrangler is a great option to pull behind both Class A and Class C motorhomes. The Wrangler has no speed or distance restrictions when being flat towed. Plus, both manual and automatic transmission models can be safely towed. First with the base plates, I suggest the Roadmaster EZ5, # RM-521424-5 if you have either a U-channel bumper or a double tube bumper. If you have...

  • Recommended Base Plate Kit and Other Parts to Flat Tow a 1997 Jeep Wrangler with Warn Bumper
    To flat tow your 1997 Jeep Wrangler you'll need a tow bar, wiring, and likely a high-low adapter. You'll also want to consult your owner's manual to make sure your vehicle is able to be flat towed without damaging it. Since you have the Warn bumper with the D-rings you can use Roadmaster D-Ring Bumper Mounts # RM-035-1 if they're 1 inch thick or # RM-035 if they're 3/4 inches thick. These will pair nicely with a Roadmaster tow bar like the Falcon 2 # RM-520. To power the Jeep's lights...

    I checked with AEV 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. The good news is that if the D-ring mounts are compatible with either of the adapters...
