• 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...

• 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...

• What Tow Bar and Adapter Will Work With a Fab Fours Grumper Bumper on a 2011 Jeep Wrangler
  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. I was not able to locate this information on Fab Fours site which is why you will need to measure this for yourself. If they measure to be 3/4" thick with a either a 7/8" or 1" diameter pin hole then you can use the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts part # RM-035...

• 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...

• Can Roadmaster Night Hawk Tow Bar Be Used with D-Rings on Jeep Wrangler
  The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676 (excellent choice) will hook up to the D-ring hooks on your Jeep's aftermarket bumper as long as you use the appropriate adapter. If your D-rings are 1 inch thick you will need part # RM-035-1 and if they are 3/4 inch thick you will need # RM-035. These will attach to the D-ring mounts to provide a connection point for the tow bar. I do also recommend verifying that your particular aftermarket bumper is rated for towing. I have attached...

  Hey George, you could use the Roadmaster Falcon part # RM-520 with D-rings on your Jeep bumper but you would need a D-ring adapter that is the correct size for what you have. The part # RM-035 would be the correct adapter if it's 3/4 inch d-rings or part # RM-035-1 if they are 1 inch.

• How To Use a Tow Bar With a Poison Spyder Front Bumper on a 2014 Jeep Wrangler
  Hey Mark! I do have an option for you but the Blue Ox item # BX1126 is designed to be used with the factory front bumper on a 2014 Jeep Wrangler JKU only. I took a look at the Poison Spyder Brawler front bumper. It does have d-rings, which means you should be able to attach a tow bar directly to these with an adapter. Simply put you won't need a base plate at all. It looks like the d-rings are 3/4" thick so you could use the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts item # RM-035. Please...

• Can D-Ring Bumper Mount Adapters be Used to Tow a Jeep Wrangler with a Stowmaster Tow Bar
  If the D-ring bumper mounts on the Rock Crawler bumper are 3/4 inches then the Roadmaster adapters, part # RM-035, will work on the bumper. If the mounts are 1 inch then instead part # RM-035-1 is the correct size. However, neither are compatible with the Roadmaster Stowmaster tow bar. The adapters can only be used with tow bars that are mounted onto the motorhome instead of on the vehicle, like the Falcon 2, part # RM-520.

• 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...

• Best Flat Towing Setup for a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with D-Ring Bumper Mounts or OEM Rubicon Bumper
  To setup any vehicle for flat towing the basic parts that you need are a Base Plate Kit, Tow Bar, Safety Cables, Vehicle Tow Bar Wiring, a Supplemental Braking System, and most likely a High-Low Adapter. Since your 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has the 3/4 inch D-Ring bumper mounts you won't need a base plate kit. Instead you will need to use the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts # RM-035 with a Roadmaster Tow Bar. I recommend using the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 as it is...

• Tow Bar Solution that Allows Connection to 3/4 inch Thick D-Rings with 1 inch Hole
  We have an adapter that fits your style of D-rings with the Roadmaster kit part # RM-035 but we do not have a similar Blue Ox solution. So your best option is to go with this adapter and a Roadmaster tow bar like the Falcon All Terrain part # RM-522 and you'd be set. The # RM-035 was designed to fit 3/4 inch wide D-rings with 1 inch pin diameters as well.

• 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. Since your D-Ring mounts are closer together than that range, we'll have to get you setup with more of a standard tow bar. For that I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 and you'll need D-Ring adapters to make this compatible with the D-Rings on your Jeep bumper. For this tow bar you're looking at either...

• Help With Roadmaster D-Ring Adapters Having To Much Play
  So there are 2 adapters the 3/4" # RM-035 or the 1" # RM-035-1 for your Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522. If you have the larger 1" wide adapters and only a 3/4" wide D-Ring you would want to get the smaller size. Otherwise you would want to source some washer/spacers locally you can use with the pins and bushings to reduce the play you have. A little play is a good thing as the different metals can expand differently and could make it difficult to connect/disconnect if the...

• 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...

• 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...

• Flat Towing a 2015 Jeep Wrangler with custom Front Bumper with D-Ring Attachments
  I do have a solution for you but Roadmaster adapter # RM-035 fits D-ring mounting holes that are 7/8 inch or 1 inch in diameter that have taps that are 3/4 inches thick as opposed to holes that are 3/4 inches in diameter so they would not work. There isn't an adapter that would work with 3/4 inch diameter holes. What I recommend is to install the Blue Ox universal base plates, # BX88266, and then use adapter # BX88310 which will fit the Demco Commander tow bar. If you do not have safety...

• Base Plate Kit Solution for 2015 Jeep Wrangler Willys Towed with Demco Tow Bar
  Thanks for the picture of your new 2015 Jeep Wrangler Willys Vicky. I can see that it has an aftermarket bumper on it so the standard fits for the Willys versions aren't applicable. So what you are going to have to do is measure the D-rings on the bumper and go with the correct D-ring adapter for it like the part # RM-035 if the D-ring is 3/4 inch thick or part # RM-035-1 if they are 1 inch thick. We don't have a way to determine what bumper you have from the picture that I can't attach...

  For your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with the factory bumper you'd want the base plate kit part # RM-521453-5.

• Recommended Parts for Flat Dinghy/Recreational Towing a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited w/ AEV Bumper
  Would you be able to send me a picture of your AEV Bumper? Most likely you will need D-ring adapters but a picture would be a huge help. Also, you may want to go ahead and check to make sure that your bumper is rated for towing. Sometimes a bumper might look heavy-duty but isn't rated for towing the vehicle.
