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!

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

Very helpful when I was placing my order. Very professional and kind. Thank you etrailer
by: Bill05/31/2023
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: Scott10/02/2022
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!

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!

Worked out fantastic with my Westin WJ2 Bumper. Highly recommended vs buying a tow plate. Much cleaner looking.
by: Nelson 06/09/2021
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.

- Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars - 1 1/8 2021 Bronco D-RingsFor off-road bumpers Blue Ox has two D-ring size adapters available. They have the # BX88358 which is for 1 inch d-rings and they offer the # BX88357 which is for 7/8 inch d-rings. They do not offer a 1-1/8 inch adapter.
view full answer... - Adapter to Connect Blue Ox Tow Bar to SMF to Bumper with 1 inch D-RingSince you have a 1 inch D-ring on your 2005 Jeep Wrangler and a Blue Ox tow bar the adapter you'd need to connect to it is the part # BX88358 as your best option.
view full answer... - Flat Tow Base Plate Kit for 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited With Front Mount Trailer Hitch ReceiverThe 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...
view full answer... - How to Use Blue Ox Tow Bar on 2004 Jeep TJ With Off-Road BumperSo the Demco base plates are not able to use a Blue Ox Attain tow bar, nor work with the bumper on your 2004 Jeep TJ. I know you mentioned rather not using the adapters, but that really is the only way I know of to use your tow bar on your Jeep with your Smittybilt bumper. The right adapter will depend on the size of your D-ring pin hole: - 7/8" Pin Hole: Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter # BX88357 - 1" Pin Hole: Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter # BX88358 Then for your tow bar wiring,...
view full answer... - Base Plate Kit Adapter Solution for 2014 Jeep Wrangler with AEV BumperBlue Ox sells D-ring adapters for use with their tow bars like with the part # BX88358 which fits 1 inch D-rings or part # BX88357 which fits 7/8 inch D-rings. Since your AEV bumper has D-rings on it I would recommend using one of these adapters to connect to the D-rings instead of trying to also fit a base plate kit with it. It would be worth checking to verify that bumper is flat towable as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Adapter to Flat Tow 2017 Toyota 4Runner with Aftermarket Front BumperWe 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...
view full answer... - Tow Bar and D-ring Bumper Mount for 2010 Jeep Wrangler For a 5K rated tow bar, I suggest the Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar, # BX4330 with a 2" ball coupler. Then add the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter, # BX88357 for a 7/8" Pin or, # BX88358 for a 1" pin D-ring. For a hitch mounted tow bar, and my preferred set-up, I suggest the 6K rated Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, # RM-520. Use the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars, # RM-035-1 for 1" Thick D-Rings. Or, # RM-035 for 3/4" D-Rings. Please...

- Flat Towing a 2013 Wrangler Using D-RingsPer the manufacturer the RedRock 4x4 Attack Stubby Winch Front Bumper is not tow rated. You can not flat tow your Jeep using this bumper and D-rings. If you decide on a bumper for your 2013 Jeep Wrangler that is tow rated, I recommend the following. If you are looking for a tow bar that has a coupler, the Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar, # BX4330 with a 2" ball coupler is my suggestion. You can use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter, # BX88357 for a 7/8" Pin or, # BX88358...

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:...

- Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter Fitment If your Jeep has an aftermarket bumper installed with 15/16" holes (0.9375). The Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter - 7/8" Pin, # BX88357, is identified with a nominal hole diameter of 7/8". It specifically states minimum of 0.871" and max hole diameter of 0.934", negligible difference. I suggest verifying the actual of diameter of your specific bumper for fitment. There is the option of using the # BX88358 in 1" diameter (min hole diameter of 0.996", max of 1.06") and reaming...
view full answer... - Is it a Good Idea to Replace 25 Year Old Blue Ox Tow BarThe Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars # BX88358 would fit your older Blue Ox tow bar but it is recommended to replace older tow bars like what you have for the reasons you mentioned. The metal does eventually fatigue which will eventually lead to failure. The Avail # BX7420 would be a really great option for a replacement. It has a 10k capacity, non-binding arms, and also has longer arms which helps the vehicle track better behind the tow vehicle.

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...

To complete your flat towing setup you'll also need a compatible tow bar, tow bar wiring, safety cables, supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter.

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...

Both of these are compatible with your Blue Ox Alpha.

It would be hard to say if this would fit with an aftermarket bumper. But if you go with an aftermarket bumper that has D-rings there are adapters for them. The Ascent tow bar part # BX4370 would work great with the base plate kit or possibly a d-ring adapter like the part # BX88357 for a 7/8 inch d-ring or part # BX88358 for a 1 inch d-ring.

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!
