Tow Bar Adapter to Connect Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar RM-522 to Blue Ox Base Plates

Question

Question:

Just bought a 17 Wrangler that already has Blue Ox 1126 base plates on it. our last Jeep had Roadmaster plates so we got the Falcon All Terrain tow bar 2 years ago. We like it. How do we connect the two? We have no interest at all in changing the base plates on the new Jeep. Help!

You can connect your Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 to your Jeep's Blue Ox base plate kit # BX1126 with the adapter part # RM-031.

You can see this USA-made adapter and how it installs by checking out the two linked videos that are included for you. I also included a photo of the adapter with its primary dimensions noted. The photos shows only one but the item is a set of two.

The best solution I can make for you would be to upgrade your tow bar to a Blue Ox Alpha part #BX7380 as we do not carry any adapters designed to work with the Haulmaster tow bars.

The correct base plate adapter brackets for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that has 3/4 inch D-rings that use the 7/8 inch pin is the Blue Ox #BX88357. This will fit the D-rings perfectly so that you can connect to your existing Blue Ox Tow Bar.
