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

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!

Great shipping

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: Steve 07/01/2020
Worked out fantastic with my Westin WJ2 Bumper. Highly recommended vs buying a tow plate. Much cleaner looking.

See what our Experts say about this Blue Ox Base Plates
- Base Plate Adapter, Tow Bar, & Braking System to Flat Tow 2016 Jeep Wrangler With XRC BumperThanks 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:...

- Will Blue-Ox Base Plate Kit Fit Jeep with Warn Elite Full Width BumperI wouldn't be able to confirm fit of a base plate kit with the Warn Elite Full Width Bumper but since it has d-rings you can use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter part # BX88357 for 7/8" pins or part # BX88358 for 1" pins.
view full answer... - 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...
view full answer... - Off-Road Bumper Adapters For Flat Towing a 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJCurrently 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. 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 Mounted Tow Bars - 1" D-Rings # BX88358 Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts...
view full answer... - Can an Off-Road Bumper Be Used With Blue Ox Tow BarsThere are aftermarket bumpers with integrated brush guards out there, however that is not something we have on hand. What we do have are the d-ring adapters # BX88357 for 7/8" wide openings, and # BX88358 for 1" wide openings for off road bumpers. These adapters are compatible with the Aladdin, Alpha, Ascent, Avail, and Aventa LX tow bars, and will allow you to use your Blue Ox tow bar with a "brush guard bumper". The only thing you'd need to verify is that the bumper is able to be flat...
view full answer... - Availability of Flat Towable Front Bumper for a 2023 Jeep GladiatorThe 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...
view full answer... - 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...
view full answer... - 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 ...
view full answer... - D-Ring Adapter For Blue Ox Tow Bar on Jeep WranglerThanks for that photo, and since you have a bumper with D-ring attachments, you would not need base plates; in fact, base plates wouldn't be able to be installed, so instead you would need a bumper adapter that attaches to the D-ring attachments. Your bumper does need to be rated for flat towing so you'll need to check with the manufacturer to ensure that if you're not certain, but if it is, and if the bumper has a 1" or 7/8" pin hole and the tab is 3/4", 7/8", or 1" then what you will...

- Parts Needed to Tow 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK with Blue Ox D-Ring Adapter KitAs long as you've got an aftermarket bumper with D-ring plates at least 5/8" thick, you can use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter - 1" Pin # BX88358 to flat tow your 2007 Jeep Wrangler. 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. For a tow bar I recommend using the Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 10,000 lbs # BX7420, which is compatible with the D-ring...
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... - Adapter to Go From Blue Ox Tow Bar to Aftermarket Bumper of 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with D-RingsSince you have a Blue Ox tow bar currently and a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL you could use the D-ring adapter part # BX88358 to attach to your D-rings. I'd recommend running the safety chains to the frame of the vehicle as that's the most secure location.
view full answer... - Most Cost-Effective Tow Bar Option For 2001 Jeep Wrangler With D-RingsSo there isn't a tow bar that will attach directly to the D-rings on your 2001 Jeep Wrangler; you'd need an adapter and then a tow bar that fits the adapter. Realistically there isn't an inexpensive way to do this, but I'll give you the most cost-effective option, which is an adapter from Blue Ox and one of their tow bars. The correct adapter is going to depend on the diameter of the D-ring hole so the pin can fit properly: - 7/8" Diameter Hole: Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter - 7/8"...
view full answer... - How To Attach Blue Ox Tow Bar To Aftermarket Jeep Bumper with D-Rings In order to choose the correct Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter for an aftermarket bumper you'll need to measure the d-ring shackle thickness and pin diameter. The max thickness is 1". There is then the part # BX88357 for 7/8" diameter pins or the part # BX88358 for 1" diameter pins. I did some research on the Fab Fours Stubby Bumper and it uses a 7/8" diameter pin.
view full answer... - Will Blue Ox Base Plate Fit 2017 Jeep Wrangler with a Smittybilt Front BumperThe base plate options for a 2017 Jeep Wrangler are all designed for models with a factory installed front bumper, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1126 for example which is designed to be used with a tow bar like the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar part # BX7380. I will say that certain aftermarket front bumpers have built-in d-rings which can be used with a tow bar adapter if allowed by the manufacturer, the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter part # BX88358 or part # BX88357.
view full answer... - How Can I Adapt The SD Non-Binding Tow Bar e34ZR To D-Rings On A Jeep Bumper?Hey good morning, David. We do have a solution for you. What you can do is replace the clevis end of your # e34ZR tow bar with part # DM9523041. This will allow your etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar to work with the Blue Ox brand base plates. You can then use the Blue Ox brand D-ring adapters to connect to the bumper of your Gladiator. The Blue Ox adapters are available in the following sizes: 7/8" D-Rings # BX88357 1" D-Rings # BX88358
view full answer... - D Ring Tow Bar Adapters And Flat Tow Setup For 2017 Jeep WranglerGreat 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...
view full answer... - Recommended Blue Ox Base Plate for a 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ Yes, it is. To add a Blue Ox base plate to your 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ you will want item # BX1120. This base plate kit works with both the double tube bumper or standard factory bumper. It is compatible with Blue Ox tow bars like the item # BX4330 you were looking at. There are also two D-ring adapters that will work with Blue Ox tow bars incase you are trying to flat tow with an aftermarket bumper. They are the 7/8" Off-Road Bumper Adapter item # BX88357 and the 1" Aftermarket Bumper...
view full answer... - 3/4 inch D-Ring Adapter that Can be Used with Blue Ox Aventa Tow BarBlue Ox has a similar adapter with the part # BX88358 which works with the Aventa tow bar and fits 3/4 inch D-rings but the part # RM-035 only fits Roadmaster tow bars so it wouldn't work for you.

- Blue Ox Compatible Base Plate for a 2018 JL Jeep UnlimitedSince you have a Blue Ox tow bar, the best base plate for your 2018 Jeep JL Unlimited Sport is going to be the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1139. This kit works if you have the factory steel or plastic bumper. I have linked an installation video below so you can understand the process. If you have an Off-Road bumper - with 7/8 inch D-Ring bumper mounts you will need the item # BX88357. If your Off-Road Bumper has 1 inch D-Ring bumper mounts you will need the item # BX88358.

view full answer... - 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. Unfortunately, there's really no such thing as a removable base plate kit and there aren't any other options with...

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!
