• Tow Bar for Using D-Ring Bumper Mounts on 1997 Jeep TJ With Bulldog Stubby Bumper
  I spoke with a representative of Blue Ox, who informed me that the older BX7330 tow bar would not work with the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets for Bulldog Stubby Bumpers # BX88357.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with a Smittybilt XRC Gen 2 Bumper
  I am really sorry about the delay in getting back to you! I sent all of this to our base plate manufacturers and currently they don't have a base plate that will fit your bumper but if you can get me the dimensions of the d-rings on your bumper I can see if one of the D-ring adapters we have will fit. I'd need the thickness or width of them as well as the diameter of the hole.

• Blue Ox Adapter for Warn D-Ring Bumper on 1999 Jeep Wrangler
