• Tow Bar Recommendation for Flat Towing 1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ at Highways Speeds with Ford F-150
  The Tow Ready Adjustable Tow Bar 63180 does have a speed limitation of 45 miles per hour, but this is the only tow bar we offer with a limit on driving speed.

• Will Flat Towing a 1987 Jeep Wrangler w/ Non-Factory Bumper Require Base Plates
  Whether your Jeep Wrangler can be flat towed as it's currently configured will depend on the aftermarket bumper installed on it. If the bumper on your Jeep is rated for towing (not all of them are), and the tab the D-ring towing shackle is mounted to is 3/4 or 1 inch thick (see photo), Roadmaster offers D-Ring adapters that would allow certain Roadmaster tow bars to attach to your bumper. If the tab is 3/4 inches thick, use # RM-035 or # RM-035-1 for a 1 inch thick tab. These adapters...

• Ways to Flat Tow a 1993 Jeep Wrangler with Aftermarket Front Bumper
  We currently have two d-ring bumper adapters which are the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts part # RM-035 for 3/4" thick or part # RM-035-1 for 1" thick. These adapters are for factory bumpers with d-rings that are suited for flat towing.

• Base Plate Fit on 1988 Jeep YJ With Factory Bumper
  The reason we do not have those base plates as a fit for a 1988 Jeep YJ with a factory bumper is simply due to the fact the manufacturer does not list that vehicle as a fit for these base plates.
