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

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



by:

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!



by:

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

  • 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 that Could be Used with Warn Bumper of 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
    As long as the Warn Elite front bumper you are looking at has the 1 inch D-ring you can use the # BX88358 or if they are 7/8 inch you'd instead need the # BX88357. 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 with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting...

    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.

  • Base Plate Adapter, Tow Bar, & Braking System to Flat Tow 2016 Jeep Wrangler With XRC Bumper
    Thanks for the photo! Glad you're enjoying the site and we can absolutely get your 2016 Jeep Wrangler with an XRC front bumper ready to flat tow. First you'll need the base plate adapters to connect to your D-rings, and the correct one is going to depend on the size of the pin hole on your bumper, which is likely 7/8" but could be 1" so you'll want to verify that size and then you can use either of the following: - 7/8" Pin: Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter # BX88357 - 1" Pin:...

  • Blue Ox Compatible Base Plate for a 2018 JL Jeep Unlimited
    Since you have a Blue Ox tow bar, the best base plate for your 2018 Jeep JL Unlimited Sport is going to be the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1139. This kit works if you have the factory steel or plastic bumper. I have linked an installation video below so you can understand the process. If you have an Off-Road bumper - with 7/8 inch D-Ring bumper mounts you will need the item # BX88357. If your Off-Road Bumper has 1 inch D-Ring bumper mounts you will need the item # BX88358.

  • Cleanest Looking Base Plate for my 2019 Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition
    Of the two option I have available the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-521453-5 and the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit part # DM9519339 I really like the look of the Demco model. While it does add more to the front of the vehicle it does it in a very nice factory look. This has all of the attachment points and will keep you from having a pieced together look. When not in use the arms are removable for an even cleaner look. To use this with your Aventa II tow bar use the...

  • Tow Bar and D-ring Bumper Mount for 2010 Jeep Wrangler
    For a 5K rated tow bar, I suggest the Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar, # BX4330 with a 2" ball coupler. Then add the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter, # BX88357 for a 7/8" Pin or, # BX88358 for a 1" pin D-ring. For a hitch mounted tow bar, and my preferred set-up, I suggest the 6K rated Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, # RM-520. Use the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars, # RM-035-1 for 1" Thick D-Rings. Or, # RM-035 for 3/4" D-Rings. Please...

  • Can Bestop HighRock 4x4 Narrow Front Bumper Be Used to Flat Tow a 2003 Jeep Wrangler
    The Bestop HighRock 4x4 Narrow Front Bumper # B4493001 is not rated for towing so you'll want to keep the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX1124 installed on your 2003 Jeep Wrangler or find a front bumper that is rated for flat towing and uses D-Rings if you want to avoid using the base plate kit.

  • Base Plate Solution for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Jurassic Park with Oedro Bumper and D-Rings
    That's actually a bumper that your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Jurassic Park edition did not come with from the factory so you would need to go a different route. What you have is an Oedra bumper. Since your aftermarket bumper has D-rings you'd need to go with the D-ring base plate kit adapters like the part # BX88358. This kit fits 1 inch D-rings like it looks like your bumper has. If instead you have 7/8 inch D-rings you'd want the part # BX88357.

  • D-Ring Adapter For Blue Ox Tow Bar on Jeep Wrangler
    Thanks for that photo, and since you have a bumper with D-ring attachments, you would not need base plates; in fact, base plates wouldn't be able to be installed, so instead you would need a bumper adapter that attaches to the D-ring attachments. Your bumper does need to be rated for flat towing so you'll need to check with the manufacturer to ensure that if you're not certain, but if it is, and if the bumper has a 1" or 7/8" pin hole and the tab is 3/4", 7/8", or 1" then what you will...
