I bought the Blue Ox Bumper Adapter, part # BX88358, for the Hammerhead Armor front bumper we installed on our 2021 Jeep Gladiator Overland. We plan to tow the Jeep behind our motorhome and the adapter lets us do that, while keeping a clean look for the Hammerhead bumper. Love it!

We towed our Jeep Gladiator from Alabama to the West Coast and back using the Blue Ox adapter with no issues. Takes a couple of minutes to align and secure the adapter pins. When we are not towing, I stow my adapters in a small bag, along with my Air Force One connection, towing light cable and pair of gloves. Leaves a nice clean look, not having a base plate. Still love it!

All of the products I have purchased have been very well made
Your shipping and tracking information is spot on and very fast
Everything functions above and beyond expectations!

etrailer has done it AGAIN! Every time I have used their products or needed help with technical issues, they always come through! Great company and staff!
The tow bar assembly for my aftermarket Jeep bumper fit perfectly! Thanks again!

Weve put over 6K miles on our RV and Jeep over the last year and plan on taking off again in a few weeks. Our Blue Ox adabpter fit perfectly with our Custom Bumper with built in tow package. Extremely tough as youd expect from anything Blue Ox



by:

Box didn’t have any hardware in it (no pins, spacers, bolts, nuts et) only the adapters.



by:

Very helpful when I was placing my order. Very professional and kind. Thank you etrailer



by:

The actual product appears to be good quality but is grossly over priced. I wouldn’t recommend this unless you have $xxx to throw away. There are very good quality alternatives.



by:

Awesome service and tracking tool. A fantastic experience â€Ĥ thanks guys!



by:

I first ordered the wrong part, within a couple days I had the correct one! Thanks to the delightful staff I ended up with an awesome hitch from very friendly staff, I'll definitely be ordering more in the future!



by:

Fit my after market bumper perfectly.



by:

Great shipping



by:

I shopped with trailer before and once again I’m happy. They always have what I need and this time was no different. I needed to change out couplers on my blue ice tow bar after changing toads. Now I can tow the Jeep with off-road bumper!!! Awesome etrailer I will always recommend you guys!



by:

This is the best addition. I had a hammer head number on my F250 and it is much cheaper to just buy these attachments. made hook up and disconnecting so easy my 10 year old son could do it.



by:

Worked out fantastic with my Westin WJ2 Bumper. Highly recommended vs buying a tow plate. Much cleaner looking.



by:

Overnight shipping was spot on these guys did perfect getting they to me in emergency. Perfect fit for Raptor with ADD HONEYBADGER BUMPER

Worked w/ Jeep aftermarket bumper



by:

Using the search function in the website was very easy, this was a specialized bracket for an aftermarket bumper that I thought would be very difficult to find. etrailer made it easy!

Everything was in good order as anticipated. The best thing is etrailer Customer Service along with helpful videos. Great job!

  • Flat Tow Base Plate Kit for 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited With Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver
    The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX1126 for 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited can not be installed simultaneously with a Curt, # 31432 or similar front mount trailer hitch receiver as they each occupy the same space beneath the front of the Jeep. We have been asked this question previously with the goal being to have a front mount hitch for purpose of installing a winch. If this is your objective too, the best option is to replace the front bumper with an aftermarket model that tow rated with...

  • Flat Towing Recommendations For A 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited Rubicon
    For tow bar wiring I recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit Item # RM-154. It's a one time setup that splices into your vehicles lighting so you don't have to carry around the magnetic lights and run them every time you want to tow. For braking I recommend the Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System - Proportional Item # HM39530. This braking system is a one time setup as well and also comes with a battery charger to keep your battery maintained while towing....

    Sounds like you've gotten some good use out of the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1126 for your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited! Jeep actually had a generation swap mid-year for 2018 models so your 2020 Wrangler Unlimited will use a different base plate kit which I've listed out for you below: Standard Factory Bumper - # BX1139 Off-Road Bumper with 1" D-Ring Mounts with a 1 inch pin diameter - # BX88358 Off-Road Bumper with 1" D-Ring Mounts with a 7/8 inch pin diameter - # BX88357 If you have...

  • Can 2008 Jeep Wrangler with Smittybilt Stryker Bumper be Flat Towed
    The Smittybilt Stryker bumper has D-rings on it so yes it can be flat towed as long as you pick out the correct D-ring adapter. If they are 7/8 inch then the correct kit is the part # BX88357 that you referenced or if they are 1 inch you'd need the # BX88358. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes...

  • Is There A Recommended Bumper For Flat Towing A 2001 Jeep Wrangler
    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...

  • How Can I Adapt The SD Non-Binding Tow Bar e34ZR To D-Rings On A Jeep Bumper?
    Hey good morning, David. We do have a solution for you. What you can do is replace the clevis end of your # e34ZR tow bar with part # DM9523041. This will allow your etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar to work with the Blue Ox brand base plates. You can then use the Blue Ox brand D-ring adapters to connect to the bumper of your Gladiator. The Blue Ox adapters are available in the following sizes: 7/8" D-Rings # BX88357 1" D-Rings # BX88358

  • Does Flat Towing Setup Create Tongue Weight on Vehicle Hitch
    With a flat towing setup like you mentioned you won't see any vertical weight on the tow vehicle hitch since there is no weight to support. It would be all horizontally pulled weight like you mentioned. From what we know about the Torklift hitch extenders and the capacity of your 2021 Ford F-350 you should be totally fine from a capacity perspective.

  • Will Blue Ox Base Plate Fit 2017 Jeep Wrangler with a Smittybilt Front Bumper
    The base plate options for a 2017 Jeep Wrangler are all designed for models with a factory installed front bumper, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1126 for example which is designed to be used with a tow bar like the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar part # BX7380. I will say that certain aftermarket front bumpers have built-in d-rings which can be used with a tow bar adapter if allowed by the manufacturer, the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter part # BX88358 or part # BX88357.

  • Recommended Tow Bar For A 2003 Jeep TJ
    The Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount # BX7380 will work with your 2003 Jeep TJ if you have The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1120 already installed on your 2003 Jeep TJ. The tow bar has a heavy-duty steel construction and is powder coated to help resist corrosion. It has a weight capacity up to 6,500 pounds . I attached a review video link below.

    To connect your Blue Ox tow bar, such as their Alpha # BX7380, to your Wrangler Unlimited's towing bumper's 1-inch D-rings you will want adapter kit # BX88358. This includes the 7/8-inch pins and retaining clips. You can see how this installs in the linked photo.

  • Can an Off-Road Bumper Be Used With Blue Ox Tow Bars
    There are aftermarket bumpers with integrated brush guards out there, however that is not something we have on hand. What we do have are the d-ring adapters # BX88357 for 7/8" wide openings, and # BX88358 for 1" wide openings for off road bumpers. These adapters are compatible with the Aladdin, Alpha, Ascent, Avail, and Aventa LX tow bars, and will allow you to use your Blue Ox tow bar with a "brush guard bumper".

  • Recommended Blue Ox Base Plate for a 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ
    Yes, it is. To add a Blue Ox base plate to your 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ you will want item # BX1120. This base plate kit works with both the double tube bumper or standard factory bumper. It is compatible with Blue Ox tow bars like the item # BX4330 you were looking at. There are also two D-ring adapters that will work with Blue Ox tow bars incase you are trying to flat tow with an aftermarket bumper. They are the 7/8" Off-Road Bumper Adapter item # BX88357 and the 1" Aftermarket Bumper...

  • Base Plate Kit Solution for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK with WJ2 Stubby Westin Bumper
    I looked up your WJ2 Stubby Westin bumper and since it has D-rings on the front of it that would be how you'd connect a tow bar to it. You will have to measure the diameter of the holes on them though to pick out correct adapter. If the hole is 1 inch in diameter you'd want the # BX88358 or if they are 7/8 inch you'd want the part # BX88357. You'd have to use a Blue Ox tow bar with these though like the # BX7420 as there isn't an adapter for them so they can be used on a Ready Brute tow bar.

  • Flat Towing Recommendations For A 2003 Jeep Wrangler TJ
    The # 63180 Tow Ready tow bar you linked to has a max speed rating of 45 mph so you wouldn't be able to tow your vehicle on the highway. Instead if you're wanting to tow with a ball hitch I recommend the Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - A-Frame - Car Mount - 5,000lbs Item # BX7322. If you have a double tube or standard bumper the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms Item # BX1120 will fit your vehicle but this will require some drilling and trimming to fit, as will...

  • Adapter to Go From Blue Ox Tow Bar to Aftermarket Bumper of 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with D-Rings
    Since you have a Blue Ox tow bar currently and a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL you could use the D-ring adapter part # BX88358 to attach to your D-rings. I'd recommend running the safety chains to the frame of the vehicle as that's the most secure location.

  • 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport recommended Blue Ox Parts for Flat Towing with Off-Road Bumper
    Thanks for all the details Jason! To get a Blue Ox tow bar to fit with the shackles on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport you'll need either the 7/8" # BX88357 or 1" # BX88358 Adapters, but just be sure to check with the manufacturer of your off-road bumper because not all bumpers with shackles are rated for flat towing.

This would then allow you to use an adapter with your tow bar like the Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars part # BX88357 or part # BX88358 and have much better ground clearance.
