I received this today and installed on my blue ox tow bar. Everything fits as it should and looks like it will do a good job for me towing my jeep.

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!



by:

All of the products I have purchased have been very well made
Your shipping and tracking information is spot on and very fast
Everything functions above and beyond expectations!

etrailer has done it AGAIN! Every time I have used their products or needed help with technical issues, they always come through! Great company and staff!
The tow bar assembly for my aftermarket Jeep bumper fit perfectly! Thanks again!

Great heavy duty construction!

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



by:

Box didn’t have any hardware in it (no pins, spacers, bolts, nuts et) only the adapters.



by:

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:

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!



by:

Awesome service and tracking tool. A fantastic experience … thanks guys!



by:

Fit my after market bumper perfectly.



by:

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:

Great shipping



by:

Worked out fantastic with my Westin WJ2 Bumper. Highly recommended vs buying a tow plate. Much cleaner looking.



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:

Overnight shipping was spot on these guys did perfect getting they to me in emergency. Perfect fit for Raptor with ADD HONEYBADGER BUMPER



by:

Worked w/ Jeep aftermarket bumper



by:

Using the search function in the website was very easy, this was a specialized bracket for an aftermarket bumper that I thought would be very difficult to find. etrailer made it easy!



by:

The bumper adapter arrived with as advertised with all the hardware.



by:

Everything was in good order as anticipated. The best thing is etrailer Customer Service along with helpful videos. Great job!

  • Off-Road Bumper Adapters For Flat Towing a 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ
    Currently none of the aftermarket bumpers we carry are rated for flat towing with your 1997 Jeep TJ. We only carry the adapters for either Blue Ox or Roadmaster tow bars which will allow you to connect to an aftermarket bumper which is rated for flat towing.

  • Flat Tow Base Plate Kit for 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited With Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver
    The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX1126 for 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited can not be installed simultaneously with a Curt, # 31432 or similar front mount trailer hitch receiver as they each occupy the same space beneath the front of the Jeep. We have been asked this question previously with the goal being to have a front mount hitch for purpose of installing a winch. If this is your objective too, the best option is to replace the front bumper with an aftermarket model that tow rated with...

  • Base Plate Kit Solution for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK with WJ2 Stubby Westin Bumper
    I looked up your WJ2 Stubby Westin bumper and since it has D-rings on the front of it that would be how you'd connect a tow bar to it. You will have to measure the diameter of the holes on them though to pick out correct adapter. If the hole is 1 inch in diameter you'd want the # BX88358 or if they are 7/8 inch you'd want the part # BX88357. You'd have to use a Blue Ox tow bar with these though like the # BX7420 as there isn't an adapter for them so they can be used on a Ready Brute tow bar.

  • Availability of Blue Ox D-Ring Adapter that Fits Smittybilt Stryker Bumper
    I don't have a way to verify what D-ring size you have on your Smittybilt Stryker but if what you have is the 7/8 inch size you would need the part # BX88357 or if they are 1 inch you'd want the part # BX88358. Both of these are compatible with your Blue Ox Alpha.

  • Availability of Flat Towable Front Bumper for a 2023 Jeep Gladiator
    The front winch bumpers we have for your 2023 Jeep Gladiator unfortunately aren't rated for flat towing. I know there are front bumpers out there that are able to handle it but none of our manufacturers have the stamp of approval. If you choose to just go with a base plate kit then I recommend the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948, but if you get a replacement front bumper that's flat towable you'll want to use Adapter # BX88357 for a 7/8" thick D-Ring mount or part # BX88358...

  • Adapter to Flat Tow Jeep Wrangler with 1 inch D-Ring with Blue Ox Tow Bar
    Yes, since you have a 1 inch d-ring on your off-road bumper and a Blue Ox tow bar you can use a D-ring adapter like the Blue Ox 1-inch D-ring adapter part # BX88358 and you'd be set.

  • Can A Front Mount Hitch Be Installed On A 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited With A Blue Ox Base Plate?
    Depending on what you were planning on using the front hitch for, I may have an alternate solution available, but as the Curt Front Mount Hitch # C31086 will install in the same place and sit in the same place as the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX1139 on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, you will not be able to have both attached at the same time, unfortunately. I was hoping I could find a work around for you, but both options will be competing for the exact same space. I checked with the Draw-Tite...

  • How To Use Tow Bar with D-Rings On Jeep Bumper
    In order to use a tow bar with a set of welded-on d-rings which are commonly found on aftermarket Jeep bumpers you need a specific type of tow bar, one that mounts on the motorhome when not in use. The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520 and Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar part # BX7380 are both examples of motorhome mounted tow bars and are excellent options to use, the best value for the money. In order to use either tow bar with a set of welded-on d-rings you will need an adapter which...

  • Solution to Flat Tow 2003 Jeep Wrangler TJ 4.0 With Aftermarket Bumper
    I sent this over to Blue Ox and they do not have a base plate kit that will be compatible with that bumper. Doesn't look like Roadmaster does either. Unfortunately that means the only option would be to get a different bumper if you want to flat tow your Wrangler. Personally I would look for one that is flat tow rated with D-ring attachments and use the # BX88357 for 7/8" or # BX88358 for 1" D-rings to mount your tow bar.

  • Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Paramount Rugged Ridge Bumper
    Thanks for reaching out, Donald! The Paramount Rugged Ridge winch bumper on your 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited covers the place where a typical base plate kit will install so you'll need to use D-Ring mounts, granted your bumper is approved for this. These are the Blue Ox kits that you'll use depending on your D-Ring size: - 7/8" # BX88357 - 1" # BX88358 I'm not seeing that your bumper is rated for flat towing but you'll want to double check with your vendor to make sure. If your bumper...

  • Base Plate For 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited w/ Rough Country Bumper & Blue Ox Tow Bar
    That Blue Ox base plate is not compatible with your Rough Country bumper, just the factory bumpers. When I took a look at your Rough Country bumper it does have shackles on it, and so long as the bumper is rated for flat towing, you can use an adapter from Blue Ox, with the right one depending on the diameter of the D-ring opening: - Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars - 7/8" D-Rings # BX88357 - Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome...

If you have the double tube bumper or standard factory bumper you will want the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1120. If you have an off-road bumper with flat towing rated d-rings you will need either the 7/8" D-Rings item # BX88357 or the 1" D-Rings item # BX88358 depending on how wide your Jeep's D-Rings are.

  • D Ring Tow Bar Adapters And Flat Tow Setup For 2017 Jeep Wrangler
    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. For me to get you the proper base plate I would need more information about your bumper and some pics of it. We have two sizes of D-ring adapters 1 inch and 3/4 inch. Two examples of this would be the Adapter for Jeep...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2013 Jeep Wrangler with Off Road Bumper
    For a base plate kit tow tow your 2013 Jeep Wrangler that has an off road bumper with 1 inch D-rings you'd need to start with the # BX88358 for a Blue Ox setup. Then for a tow bar you'd want the # BX7420 which is the easiest to use and allows the vehicle to track the best behind the coach. For lighting you'd want the # RM-152-98146-7. The diode kit that comes with this allows you to splice into the taillight wiring so that your RV controls the vehicle taillights and does not require drilling...

    Thanks for the photo! 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:...

  • Is There a Base Plate Kit for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited with Better Ground Clarence
    The only option you really have would be to remove the base plate from the vehicle and install an aftermarket bumper with d-rings which is rated for flat-towing. This would then allow you to use an adapter with your tow bar like the Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars part # BX88357 or part # BX88358 and have much better ground clearance.

    Ken, the difference between the 7/8" adapters you have and the Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars # BX88358 is a 1/8", which is a sixteenth of an inch larger than what you need and should give you the room you're looking for.

For a 1" hole use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter part # BX88358 and for a 7/8" hole diameter use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter part # BX88357.

  • 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...

  • 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...
