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!

Great heavy duty construction!

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 … 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:

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:

Great shipping



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!



by:

The bumper adapter arrived with as advertised with all the hardware.

  • Adapter to Connect Blue Ox Tow Bar to SMF to Bumper with 1 inch D-Ring
    Since you have a 1 inch D-ring on your 2005 Jeep Wrangler and a Blue Ox tow bar the adapter you'd need to connect to it is the part # BX88358 as your best option.

  • 1 Inch D-Ring Adapter for Blue Ox Tow Bar
    For a 1 inch Blue Ox 1 inch aftermarket bumper adapter, you'll need part # BX88358. You'll want to confirm with the manufacturer of your bumper that it has a high enough weight rating to be used to tow the vehicle.

  • 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 Base Plate Kit for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited with Better Ground Clarence
    The only option you really have would be to remove the base plate from the vehicle and install an aftermarket bumper with d-rings which is 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. Unfortunately, there's really no such thing as a removable base plate kit and there aren't any other options with...

  • 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.

  • Solution for Flat Towing 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Aftermarket Bumper with Blue Ox Tow Bar
    The only solution would be to use the Blue Ox base plate kit adapter for Off-Road Bumpers with 1 inch D-rings part # BX88358 with the bumper you go with as long as it has D-rings and then you can use the Blue Ox tow bar you have now.

  • 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. We don't carry any bumpers rated for towing but I know they exist out there. Once you have one properly rated for your application you just need D-Ring adapters to connect your tow bar directly to the bumper....

  • Replacement Shank For A Blue Ox Apollo Tow Bar
    The BX88427 is the shank replacement for a Blue Ox Apollo tow bar and can be found with part # BLU55CR. If you're looking for a different replacement component or baseplate adapter then let me know what you're looking for/what you're connecting to and I'd be happy to find you the correct parts.

  • Recommended Blue Ox D-Ring Adapters For 1" D-Rings
    You'll first want to verify with the manufacturer that the bumper is rated for flat towing before actually using the D-Rings for this purpose. Since D-Ring adapters are only compatible with motorhome-mounted tow bars and would not work with your coupler-style mounted Blue Ox Acclaim # BX4330 you would need to get a different tow bar and 1" adapters # BX88358. For the tow bar you could use the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Set Up for a 2023 Jeep Wrangler w/ LOD Bumper
    Congrats on the new Jeep! It looks like the LOD signature bumper comes with the Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters item # BX88358 that fit the 1" D-rings so you will want to get a Blue Ox tow bar. I have linked a picture of the adapter below so you can confirm you have one. If not this is the one you will need to purchase, item # BX88358. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Blue Ox Ascent Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX4370. This tow bar features non-binding latches and a swivel function...

  • Can A Front Mount Hitch Be Installed On A 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited With A Blue Ox Base Plate?
    Depending on what you were planning on using the front hitch for, I may have an alternate solution available, but as the Curt Front Mount Hitch # C31086 will install in the same place and sit in the same place as the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX1139 on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, you will not be able to have both attached at the same time, unfortunately. I was hoping I could find a work around for you, but both options will be competing for the exact same space. I checked with the Draw-Tite...

  • Blue Ox Adapter to Attach Tow Bar to DV8 Bumper with 7/8 Pin Holes and 1 Inch Thick Tabs
    For the D-Ring mounts on the bumper on your 2013 Jeep Wrangler you will need adapter # BX88296. It uses a 7/8 inch pin and fits around tabs that are 1 inch thick.

  • Which Bumpers Can I Flat Tow a Jeep Wrangler JLU With Using D-Ring Adapters
    Whether or not you can flat tow with a Jeep bumper is really up to the manufacturers testing; some of the big names like MetalCloak or Poison Spyder have bumpers with D-ring attachments that can be used for flat towing connections. This is great since it doesn't require that you install base plates that might otherwise affect the looks of your Jeep. You'll want to find a bumper that mounts to the frame and has solid D-ring plates built into the bumper, not bolted on for the best compatibility....

  • 3/4 inch D-Ring Adapter that Can be Used with Blue Ox Aventa Tow Bar
    Blue Ox has a similar adapter with the part # BX88358 which works with the Aventa tow bar and fits 3/4 inch D-rings but the part # RM-035 only fits Roadmaster tow bars so it wouldn't work for you.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Set Up for a 2022 Jeep Wrangler
    I would be happy to help you set your 2022 Jeep Wrangler up to be flat towed. You will definitely need a supplemental braking system. Even though your motorhome may have the ability to stop your Jeep it is required by law to have a braking system installed on a flat towed vehicle. For a supplemental braking system that is compatible with air brakes you will want the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System item # RM-8700. This system offers automatic, real-time braking in your...

  • Recommended D-Ring Adapters for a Blue Ox Aventa II Tow Bar
    Thanks for the picture! Yes, they will. There are two D-ring adapters that will work with the Blue Ox Aventa II tow bar. They are the 7/8" Off-Road Bumper Adapter item # BX88357 and the 1" Aftermarket Bumper Adapter item # BX88358.

  • D Ring Tow Bar Adapters And Flat Tow Setup For 2017 Jeep Wrangler
    Great question. The only adapter we have that will work with a Ready Brute is the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets for Ready Brute Elite Tow Bars # BX88297. This adapter, will work with the tow bar but won't work with the D-rings. You would need a blue ox base plate. For me to get you the proper base plate I would need more information about your bumper and some pics of it. We have two sizes of D-ring adapters 1 inch and 3/4 inch. Two examples of this would be the Adapter for Jeep...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Adapter to Flat Tow Jeep Wrangler with 1 inch D-Ring with Blue Ox Tow Bar

  • Can Off-Road Bumpers for 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited be Flat Towed with
    We don't have a list of bumpers that fit your vehicle that can be flat towed with. Your best solution would be to check with the manufacturer of the bumpers you are interested in to see if they will state it's okay to flat tow with them. Most likely you'd need to use a D-Ring adapter like the part # BX88358 which fits 1 inch D-rings.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Set Up for a 2005 Jeep TJ
    We have three different options for base plates depending on what kind of bumper your 2005 Jeep TJ has. If you have the double tube bumper or standard factory bumper you will want the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1120. If you have an off-road bumper with flat towing rated d-rings you will need either the 7/8" D-Rings item # BX88357 or the 1" D-Rings item # BX88358 depending on how wide your Jeep's D-Rings are.

  • Can Tow Bar Be Connected Directly to Rough Country Bumper on a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    You can use a tow bar like the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380 with the 7/8" D-Ring # BX88357 or 1" D-Ring # BX88358 bumper adapters (whichever matches what you have on your Jeep), but you do need to confirm with Rough Country that the bumper you have on your 2015 Wrangler Unlimited is safe to use for flat towing. You also may need to use a high-low adapter to ensure your tow bar is within the "3 inch safe zone" that we talk about in the linked article. For a complete flat towing setup you will...

  • Is it a Good Idea to Replace 25 Year Old Blue Ox Tow Bar
    The Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars # BX88358 would fit your older Blue Ox tow bar but it is recommended to replace older tow bars like what you have for the reasons you mentioned. The metal does eventually fatigue which will eventually lead to failure. The Avail # BX7420 would be a really great option for a replacement. It has a 10k capacity, non-binding arms, and also has longer arms which helps the vehicle track better behind the tow vehicle.
