See what our Experts say about this Blue Ox Safety Cables

• Are the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables # BX88196 Coiled
  Yes, the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables # BX88196 that you referenced are coiled. I have attached a review video so that you can see how this keeps them off of the ground. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If your flat towing setup is missing any of these parts just let me know what it is you are needing as well as the year/make/model of your vehicle...

• Replacement Safety Cables for Blue Ox Tow Bar
  It sounds like you have the Blue Ox Acclaim Tow Bar # BX4330 that comes with safety cables that use the rubber clasp like you are describing. We don't have a replacement clasp that will offer better protection from damage, so your best option will be to simply switch to different safety chains. I recommend the Blue Ox 7 Foot Safety Cables # BX88196. This chains feature the same S-hook but they use the more standard metal keepers to ensure a secure connection. They have a capacity of 7,500...

• Recommendation for 60" Safety Cables with S-Hooks
  For a safety cable kit close to the design of the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables - 7,500 lbs # BX88196 with a 60" length I recommend checking out the 64" Demco Straight Safety Cables - 14,000 lbs # DM9523055. We don't have any kits with 60" long cables but this is the closest length we have to what you're needing. The biggest difference between your Blue Ox cables and these Demco cables are the Demco cables are straight and don't have that coiled design. The coiled cables come in 42" and 80"...

• Will the Blue Ox Acclaim Tow Bar Fit With the 22 inch Tabs on the Base Plate Kit for a 2013 Fiat 500
  The Blue Ox Acclaim, part # BX4330, that you referenced in your question will fit Blue Ox removable-tab base plates that are spaced between 23 inches - 30 inches, so they Acclaim will not work for your application. The Blue Ox Adventurer, part # BX7322, would be the appropriate tow bar that you will need to use instead. It is rated for 5,000 lbs just like the Acclaim, but it is compatible with Blue Ox base plate tabs that are spaced 16 inches - 34 inches. You will need to make sure that...

• Parts Needed to Flat-Tow a 1997 Chevrolet Blazer
  You will need to check with the manufacturer and/or your vehicle owners manual for instructions on the proper procedure for towing your 1997 Chevrolet Blazer because some vehicles must be equipped with a transmission lube pump, an axle disconnect, drive line disconnect, or free-wheeling hubs before they can be towed.

• Flat Towing a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado
  The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1721 are a confirmed fit for your 2018 Chevy Colorado and your Blue Ox Tow Bar.

• Can Safety Cables be Wrapped Around Trailer Tongue
  Yes you can wrap your the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables - 7,500 lbs # BX88196 or 10,000 lbs # BX88197 around the trailer tongue, though ideally you would use a mounting bracket like the Brophy Safety Chain Mounting Bracket - 6-1/8" Long x 1/2" Diameter # MB12 or 5/8" Diameter # MB58. I have added links to a couple video reviews for you to check out as well.

• Tow Bar, Base Plates and Flat Towing Accessories for 1996 Geo Metro
  To flat tow your 1996 Geo Metro, you'll need a towbar, base plates, safety cables, a method of wiring the vehicle so the taillights of the tow vehicle operate those of the Metro and a supplemental braking system. The Blue Ox Adventurer you referenced, part # BX7322 would work fine. For a base plate that bolts to the front of the vehicle frame and provides an attachment point for the tow bar, you could use the Blue Ox # BX3507 (as long as your vehicle isn't a GTI model.)

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2002 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
  When flat towing any vehicle you will need at least 5 items: base plates on the vehicle, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. Tow bar # 63180 is not an option I would recommend. It does not come with the attachments needed on the car (base plates) and it has a speed restriction of 45 miles per hour. For a more functional set up you can start with Blue Ox base plates # BX3827. Then for an inexpensive compatible tow bar you can use # BX7322 and for safety cables,...

• Recommended Items Needed When Flat-Towing 2003 Dodge Neon
  Since you have an automatic transmission in your Neon I found that it can be flat-towed but would require a transmission lube pump. When you flat-tow your Neon you will need 5 items. You will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting for the Neon, and most states now require a supplemental brake system. The base plates I recommend are The Blue Ox Base Plates, part # BX1961. For a tow bar I recommend the Blue Ox Adventurer, part # BX7322. The safety cables I recommend are...

• Compatibility of Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar With # BX1122 Base Plate Kit for 2005 Jeep Liberty
  The Blue Ox Adventurer tow bar, part # BX7322 has arms that can adjust so they'll fit base plate brackets that are between 16-34 inches apart. Since the # BX1122 base plate brackets are 20 inches apart, they are compatible and would work just fine. Just be aware that the Adventurer is rated for 5000 lbs. Some models of the Jeep Liberty can weigh above 4000 lbs, so you'll need to be careful about the weight of any gear you carry in the Liberty, if any. To complete your set-up, you'll also...

• Recommended Flat Towing Equipment to Use for a 2013 Mini Cooper
  Yes, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1307 is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Mini Cooper and will work well with the Blue Ox Adventurer # BX7322. To properly tow your Mini Cooper behind your RV you will also need a safety cable set, tow bar vehicle wiring, and most states require the use of a supplemental braking system. Blue Ox has 2 of those products. The 7 foot Safety Cables, part # BX88196, is rated for 5,000 lbs which is what your tow bar is rated for. For a supplemental braking...

• Can a 2000 Ford Ranger Manual Transmission and Rear Wheel Drive be Towed with a TowReady Tow Bar
  Yes, the Tow Ready Adjustable Tow Bar, # 63180, can be used to tow the 2000 Ford Ranger with manual transmission. You will need to refer to your owners manual for procedures and restrictions for towing your Ranger, and make sure that the Ranger is below the 5,000 pound capacity of the tow bar. You will also have to keep in mind that this tow bar is rated for towing speeds of 45 miles per hour or less. A better tow bar option would be the Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar, # BX7322, which is...

• Replacement Washers and Boots for Blue Ox Aventa II Tow Bar BX7335
  Thank you for the picture! Most tow bars are going to have some stickers on the shank of the tow bar that will give you a part number; sometimes they come off over time, and occasionally you have to rely on visually matching them up to determine which one you have. From the sticker on the shank, it looks like you have a Blue Ox Aventa II tow bar, which has been replaced by the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7365 . But the good news is that we still have replacement parts available. The Replacement...

• Weight Capacity Per Cable And Hook Dimensions For Blue Ox, Roadmaster, And Demco Safety Cables
  The weight capacity listed for cables is for the pair. For example the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables - 7,500lbs # BX88196 you referenced would have a 3,750lb capacity per cable. Since Roadmaster doesn't have a 7,500lb cable I'm assuming you're referencing the RoadMaster 76" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables # RM-645-76. I've drawn up some dimensions for these two cables as well as the Demco Coiled Safety Cables # DM9523003 you referenced below.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty for Just 2 Miles
  There isn't a tow bar that will attach to the plow or the mounting structure for the plow. I can tell you all the parts you will need but honestly, if it is just a one-time need, you would be better off having the truck towed. It will save you a lot of money. Because to flat tow a vehicle behind another vehicle requires base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For a 2 mile trip, you can get away with not having to use supplemental braking. I will tell...

• Blue Ox Base Plate Tow Bar Compatibility and Parts Needed To Flat Tow 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  I have a few tow bar options for you, but I do not think the Blue Ox base plates will work with the tow bar you referenced. I spoke with my contact at Blue Ox and he was unable to confirm if the # BX1120 will work with the tow bar you referenced. I was able to find out that the Blue Ox base plates and tow bars use a 1/2 inch pin to secure the tow bar and base plate. Based on the differences in pin diameter, I do not believe that they will be compatible. The # BX1120 base plate is compatible...

• Blue Ox Base Plates for 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  The Roadmaster Base Plate to Blue Ox Tow Bar Adapter, part # RM-033 is not included with the Blue Ox Acclaim Tow Bar. You would only need the adapter if your Jeep is already equipped with the Roadmaster Base Plates. If you do not yet have the base plates for your Jeep, we now carry Blue Ox base plates. For a C-channel bumper, use base plate part # BX1118, or # BX1120 for a double-tube bumper. When possible, it is best to use a tow bar and base plate from the same manufacturer. To provide...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2004 Ford Ranger Edge with Manual Transmission and Blue Ox Tow Bar
  According to Blue Ox, you can use base plates on the 2004 Ford Ranger Edge without tow hooks on the vehicle. When I did some research on flat towing the 2004 Ford Ranger Edge, I could only find information on models with an automatic transmission. If you have transmission M5OD-R-1HD then the Ranger is towable. If you have a 4 wheel drive, the transfer case will need to be placed in 2 wheel drive high and the manual transmission in neutral. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual...
