Will My Blue Ox Base Plate that Fits My 2017 Jeep Wrangler Fit My 2021 Jeep Wrangler?

Question:

Will the Blue Ox 2017 version on my Jeep Wrangler JK model fit on a 2021 or 2021 Wrangler? Thanks

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 plate like the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX1139 on your plastic factory bumper on your 2021 model.

However, if you are using a 1-inch D-ring adapter for a base plate on both models with an aftermarket bumper, the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter - 1" Pin # BX88358 will allow you to use a motorhome-mounted Blue Ox tow bar on both Wranglers such as the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420.

In order to know for sure if your base plates will work, feel free to respond to this response with the type of bumper and base plates you have for both your 2017 Jeep Wrangler and your 2021 Jeep Wrangler.
