• How To Use Tow Bar with D-Rings On Jeep Bumper
  In order to use a tow bar with a set of welded-on d-rings which are commonly found on aftermarket Jeep bumpers you need a specific type of tow bar, one that mounts on the motorhome when not in use. The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520 and Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar part # BX7380 are both examples of motorhome mounted tow bars and are excellent options to use, the best value for the money. In order to use either tow bar with a set of welded-on d-rings you will need an adapter which...

• Recommended Tow Bar to Upgrade and Replace a RoadMaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar
  Hey Randy, congrats on the new Bronco. You're definitely going to need to jump up to a heavy rated tow bar. Like you said the Roadmaster Falcon 2 item # RM-520 tops out at 6,000 lbs and your Bronco's already over that sitting there empty. I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 3HD Tow Bar item # RM27NQ. It's got the same style fittings but boasts a larger 10,000 lbs capacity. It's been upgraded with stainless steel inner arms and the new non-binding Freedom Latch locking mechanisms will last...

• What Adapters Do I Need For My Demco Commander Tow Bars to Hook-Up to D-Rings?
  Hello Wayne, Great question. I would double check that the bumper with the D-Rings is rated for flat towing, not all bumpers are. The Roadmaster D-ring adapters will work on your Demco Commander. It depends on the thickness of the D-Rings on which ones you will want, if they are 3/4" # RM-035, and for 1" thick # RM-035-1. Their tech did state that you might want to get additional bushing since the Commander tow bars are a little thinner, you would be able to source these from your local...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Aftermarket Bumper that Has D-rings
  Flat towing a vehicle such as a Jeep Wrangler behind a Class C motorhome such as the Dynamax Force 37BH HD will require a few items including the tow bar and braking system. The Blue Ox Patriot braking system # BLU37TR that you referenced is a very good selection. I linked overview articles on flat towing that cover each of the items needed. These are a good starting point. But first I suggest you check with the bumper maker to confirm it is rated for towing. Not all aftermarket bumpers...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  Hey Robert, the only frame mounted base plate kits we have for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited like the Roadmaster part # RM-521453-5 require either the factory steel or plastic bumper to verify for sure they will work. For aftermarket bumpers you have to use D-ring adapters like the part # RM-035-1 for if the D-rings are 1 inch thick. Since the D-ring adapter base plate kits aren't too expensive I would go with the # RM24VR for right now and if you go to an aftermarket bumper cross that...

• Base Plates to Flat Tow a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock with AEV Front Bumper
  I checked with AEV and found that you can use the D-ring mounts on that bumper to flat tow the Jeep. If the D-ring mounts are 3/4 inches thick with 7/8 inch or 1 inch diameter holes you can use # RM-035 with a Roadmaster tow bar. If the D-ring mounts are 1 inch thick with 7/8 inch or 1 inch diameter holes you can use # RM-035-1. The tow bar would have to be an RV mount model such as the Falcon 2 # RM-520. The good news is that if the D-ring mounts are compatible with either of the adapters...

  In order to find out which towbar and d-ring adapter will work with the Fab Fours Grumper Bumper on your 2011 Jeep Wrangler you will need to take two measurements, the thickness of the d-rings and the diameter of the pin hole.

• Does The Rampage Rock Rage Bumper Have Add-On D-Rings And What Is Needed To Flat Tow A 1999 Jeep TJ
  The Rampage Rock Rage Front Bumper for Jeep # RA97801 doesn't have a D-ring add-on option so you'd have to have a qualified fabricator weld D-rings in to the bumper if you wanted them. You'd also need to have that fabricator ensure that the bumper is properly secured enough to the frame to be able to tow from the D-rings. If you end up being able to tow from the D-rings then you'll want either the Roadmaster # RM-035 (3/4" thick D-rings) or RM-035-1 (1" thick D-rings) and a Roadmaster...

• Will Blue Ox Acclaim Tow Bar Fit a 2010 Jeep Wrangler D-Ring Bumper
  Hey Doland, thanks for reaching out again! The Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX4330 will only work with base plates that have the tabs spaced out 23" - 30" apart.
