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.

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.

Excalibur

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.

2010 Jeep Wrangler

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.

These adapters are a great alternative to buying and installing base plates to flat tow using a winch bumper and existing tow bar. They fit perfectly on my Demco Aluminator and Excali-bar tow bars even though the mfrs told me they won't fit. Thanks etrailer.com, I saved a ton o'cash!

  • Can Jeep Wrangler with Rugged Ridge HD Stubby Bumper Be Flat Towed with Roadmaster Tow Bar
    I checked out the Rugged Ridge HD Stubby bumper you are considering and what you could do to flat tow with it is use a D-Ring bumper mount like the part # RM-035-1 for if the D-Rings were 1 inch thick or the # RM-035 for if they are 3/4 inch thick as a base plate kit solution.

  • D-Ring Adapters for Towing 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler With Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar
    Roadmaster offers a couple of D-ring adapters, but the adapter you need will depend on the width of the tab that attaches the D-ring to the bumper. If the tab is 3/4 of an inch wide, use # RM-035 or if it's 7/8 or 1 inch wide, use # RM-035-1. Either adapter is compatible with your Falcon # RM-522 All Terrain Tow Bar. You'll need a few other items to flat tow your 2018 Wrangler JK. In addition to the Tow Bar which you already have and the D-ring bumper you're considering, you'll need safety...

  • Adapter to Connect Roadmaster Tow Bar to D-Rings of Jeep Wrangler
    If the D-rings are 3/4 inch thick the adapter you'd need is the # RM-035 or if you have a 1 inch thick D-ring you'd need part # RM-035-1. Both of these work with Roadmaster tow bars like the Falcon 2 part # RM-522.

  • Flat Towing Base Plate Kit for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Willys Edition
    Roadmaster lists the # RM-521448-4 as a fit for the 2017 Wrangler Willys edition, but they also go on to say that the base plate kit isn't compatible with aftermarket bumpers. Without knowing which bumper you have, I couldn't speculate on if it would be compatible or not. If you'd care to reply with that information, I can provide a more definitive answer. If your bumper is rated for towing and has D-rings on it, you could use a Roadmaster tow bar like the Falcon All Terrain, part # RM-522...

    In order to flat-tow a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with all four wheels on the ground behind a motor home you are going to need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, tail light wiring harness, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter.

    There are adapters which will attach to the D-ring bumper mounts on your 2020 Jeep Gladiator with an ARB bumper, though I was unable to find the exact size of the D-rings of your bumper. I recommend the Roadmaster option, and you simply need to take a couple quick measurements to determine the right adapter to flat tow with.

  • What Bumper Can Be Used To Flat Tow A 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport S And Hold A Winch
    In my experience most of the bumpers that allow for a winch block the ability to install a baseplate, unless you get a bumper with D-Ring mounts that is approved for flat towing. It's very hard to find a bumper that's rated for flat towing so I recommend reaching out to Smittybilt since they are one company that I've seen rate their bumpers for flat towing. From there you can use a D-Ring adapter like part # RM-035 (3/4" thick D-Rings) or # RM-035-1 (1" thick D-Rings) along with a Roadmaster...

For the inner arm bushing kit, which includes the needed washers, you will need part # RM-910003-40. There is no longer a kit available for the outer arm but we do have the Split Nylatron Bushing # RM-200029-00 that installs inside the larger outer arm assembly.

    First you'll need a base plate kit/adapter for both vehicles. For the 2010 Wrangler with an off-road bumper that has 1 inch D-rings you'd need the part # RM-035-1 and then for the 2017 F-250 you'd need the # RM-524452-5. 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.

    Your best bet is to see if one of the D-Ring mounting options from Roadmaster will work with your XRC bumper, because none of our manufactures have a specific baseplate kit that will fit the XRC aftermarket bumper. You will want to make sure that your bumper is approved for flat towing by the manufacturer. To best determine which bracket is right for your XRC bumper you will want to measure.

You should double check with the bumper's manufacturer to confirm this information, or refer to your owner's manual if it is factory.

    Before you purchase any adapters you will need to first verify with Smittybilt that your specific bumper is rated to be towed from the D-Rings. They make quite a few bumpers and only a few are actually rated for flat towing. If you're measuring .8" then the # RM-035 would not be able to slip over the D-Ring and you would have to go with the 1" # RM-035-1. That being said, you'd have a bit of play which could potentially lead to friction and breakdown of the adapter. This is very much...
