Is There A Recommended Bumper For Flat Towing A 2001 Jeep Wrangler
Question:
Do you have a bumper rated for flat towing a 2001 jeep wrangler? Looking to pull from Minnesota to California. Not much after that. So if you have other recommendations? Thanks

We don't carry replacement front bumpers, but you could check with Smittybilt since they do offer some bumpers that are rated for flat towing by the D-Ring mounts. This will give you a more rugged looking bumper for your Wrangler without having to install a baseplate. When you're picking out the bumper you'll want to note the thickness of the D-Rings to ensure that we have a compatible adapter to connect to a tow bar. We have the following options:
Roadmaster:
3/4" Thick # RM-035
1" Thick # RM-035-1
Blue Ox:
7/8" D-Rings # BX88357
1" D-Rings # BX88358
These adapters are brand specific so you would have to get the same brand tow bar as well in order for these to connect.
