Nice heavy adapters. Comes with 6 shim washers. I used one on each adapter. I used JB weld to hold them in place so I don't have to fool with them. Arrived quickly in a nice heavy box. I'm using them on my 2021 Jeep Wrangler with a Blue Ox Avail tow bar.
Comments
No issues at all. Works great.

James was very helpful in trying to set me up with all the items that were
needed to pull a jeep behind my motor home.
The extra parts that were ordered were returned and payed back to my account
in a very timely manner. Great experience!

Great fit,

Really solid build. Fit perfectly to my bumper and looks like these will last for years to come. I bought a used older tow bar and these fit just fine.

Worked well but very difficult to get the washers in place. One thicker washer would be better.

Just what I needed. I have a wrangler with an off road bumper and winch and needed adapters for my blue ox tow bar. The first adapter I order was to large and etrailer said no problem. I sent the first one back, got the right one and now it’s Moab bound!!!

You were the only ones that actually the part in stock. Shipped to me in three days. Good service on the phone plus I received the part when you said I would. One frustration, the cost was almost $100 more that from the original manufacture, I had to have the part quickly as Blue Ox production was six weeks out. The part cost is out of line anyway for two eyelets. Thanks
Comments
Works well but way overpriced. Two eyelets to hook up to a factory steel bumper were as much as the base plate. That is wrong. They work great, one issue, they painted the shim washers, I had to sand that off to make them work better, added a shot of lithium grease.

See what our Experts say about this Blue Ox Base Plates
- Can the Blue Ox Aladdin Tow Bar be Used with the Smittybilt XRC Atlas BumperYou are correct. You will need an adapter to use the Blue Ox Aladdin tow bar with the Smittybilt XRC Atlas bumper. We have exactly what you need. It is adapter # BX88357.
view full answer... - Off Road Bumper Adapter Weight Rating for 2020 Jeep GladiatorThe Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter # BX88357 has a maximum rating of 10,000lbs. You would also want to check with the bumper manufacturer and see what their weight rating for Dinghy towing would be. So they will not be strong enough for what you want to do. There are currently no off road bumper adapters that are rated for over 10,000 lbs. And with checking with the baseplate manufactures the vehicle specific mounts are not rated for anything over the 2020 Jeep Gladiators GVWR....
view full answer... - Will the Adapter Lug for Off-Road Vehicle Bumpers Work with the Blue Ox Ascent Tow BarYes, the Adapter Lug for Off-Road Vehicle Bumpers to Blue Ox Towbar part # BX88357 will work with a Blue Ox Ascent Tow Bar which I confirmed with Blue Ox for you.
view full answer... - Blue Ox Towbar - 7/8 Pin Item # BX88357 Used on 3/4 inch Thick D-Ring BumperYes, the Adapter Lug for Off-Road Vehicle Bumpers # BX88357 does come with washers/spacers to make up the extra room since you have 3/4 inch wide d-rings. This is the correct pin diameter too of 7/8 inch as well.
view full answer... - Need Help Picking Blue Ox Off Road Adapters to Flat Tow my Jeep CherokeeThe correct adapters for your Cherokee are the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter part # BX88357 . These are designed to fit directly on to your Alpha tow bar and will connect to your D-Rings. Aftermarket bumpers all vary in capacity I strongly recommend that you check with the manufacturer of the bumper to ensure it is designed to flat tow with and it has the capacity to handle your Cherokee.
view full answer... - Blue Ox D-Ring Tow Bar Adapter for Warn Off-Road Bumper on 2012 Jeep WranglerI believe you are asking about the inside depth on the Blue Ox D-Ring adapter # BX88357, which is 1-5/8 inches. I've attached a photo along with some other measurements for you as well, but if the Warn bumper on your 2012 Wrangler Rubicon is an off-road bumper with 1 inch D-ring bumper mounts, the # BX88357 will work perfectly to adapt your Blue Ox Aladdin, Alpha, or Aventa LX tow bar.

- What is the Difference Between BX88357 and BX88296You are correct that both the # BX88357 and BX88296 (no longer available) are both the same part with the same size specifications. The # BX88357 is just the newer version of the aftermarket bumper adapter so that's the one I recommend using as long as your TeraFlex Epic front bumper is certified from the manufacturer to be used for flat towing your Jeep.
view full answer... - How To Obtain Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter Part BX88296The Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter part # BX88357 replaced the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter part BX88296 so this is what you'll want to use.
view full answer... - Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapter for 2020 Jeep Gladiator with EAG JJKFB021 BumperThe Blue Ox tow bar adapter that will fit your new EAG JJKFB021 Bumper are the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adaper - 7/8 Inch Pin # BX88357. I was able to confirm that the d-rings on your aftermarket bumper use a 7/8 inch pin and have a 1 inch plate thickness where the d-rings mount. The # BX88357 has 7/8 inch pins and will fit plate thicknesses up to 1 inch, so you won't need to use any spacers to fit the bumper. These adapter will work with Blue Ox Aladdin, Alpha, Allure, Ascent,...
view full answer... - Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets for 2014 Jeep Wrangler with Paramount BumperBased on the tab dimensions you provided for the Paramount Off-Road Bumper on your 2014 Jeep Wrangler, you will need the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets # BX88357. I confirmed this as well with my contact at Blue Ox. These 3/4 inch bumper mounts will attach to the tabs on your Jeep so that you can use your Aventa II tow bar. I do recommend making sure that the Paramount Bumper is rated for towing the Jeep. This kit includes the brackets, pins, clips, washers, and lock nuts.

- Base Plate Adapters for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with 3/4 Inch D-Rings and 7/8 Inch PinThe correct base plate adapter brackets for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that has 3/4 inch D-rings that use the 7/8 inch pin is the Blue Ox # BX88357. This will fit the D-rings perfectly so that you can connect to your existing Blue Ox Tow Bar.
view full answer... - Is 1/16 Inch Too Much Play for Blue Ox Bumper AdapterYou can definitely use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter - 7/8" Pin # BX88357. The 1/16" space you were talking about is not too much play, it is such a small amount it won't be impactful. Drilling the holes out is not something I recommend doing; anytime you can avoid modification you should.

- Blue Ox Base Plates for 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with ARB Stubby BumperI reached out to my contact at Blue Ox and he said for the ARB Stubby Bumper on your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you will need to go with D-Ring adapter brackets # BX88357 to connect with a tow bar. I also recommend verifying with the manufacturer that this bumper is rated for towing. The included washers will allow you to attach these to the 3/4" D-rings on the bumper to provide a connection point for Blue Ox tow bars. In order to flat tow your Jeep you will also need the tow bar...
view full answer... - Which Blue Ox Base Plate Kit Solution Fits 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL UnlimitedYes, the Blue Ox adapter part # BX88357 does fit the Smittybuilt XRC bumper you have installed on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited.
view full answer... - Adapter to Join Blue Ox Tow Bar with Aftermarket Bumper D-RingsMy technical contact at Blue Ox advised that the only adapter kit they offer that could potentially work on your M.O.R.E. aftermarket Jeep bumper is kit # BX88358. He was not familiar with the M.O.R.E. brand of products. There is a MOVE brand of bumper and based on photos of the D-rings on their products the above kit looks to be a good match since the included pins are 1-inch in diameter.
view full answer... - How To Attach Blue Ox Tow Bar To Aftermarket Jeep Bumper with D-RingsIn order to choose the correct Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter for an aftermarket bumper you'll need to measure the d-ring shackle thickness and pin diameter. The max thickness is 1". There is then the part # BX88357 for 7/8" diameter pins or the part # BX88358 for 1" diameter pins. I did some research on the Fab Fours Stubby Bumper and it uses a 7/8" diameter pin.

Now to be able to connect these plates to your Ready Brute Elite you'd then just need the # BX88297 and you'd be set.
view full answer... - What Adapters can I use for Using the Blue Ox Avail with my Off Road Bumper?There are tow fgreat choices for adapters and it will all come down to the diameter of the hole in the D-ring. For a 1" hole use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter part # BX88358 and for a 7/8" hole diameter use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter part # BX88357.

- Blue Ox Tow Bar Adapter for Rugged Ridge XHD Aftermarket Bumper on 2014 Jeep WranglerIf you have a Rugged Ridge XHD aftermarket bumper on your 2014 Wrangler that you want to use with one of the compatible Blue Ox tow bars (those are the Aladdin, Allure, Alpha, and Aventa LX models) you will need the Rugged Ridge Adapter Brackets # BX88301. Please refer to the linked installation video.
view full answer... - Blue Ox Adapter for Warn D-Ring Bumper on 1999 Jeep WranglerI suggest using the Blue Ox Adapter Lug for Off-Road Vehicle Bumpers # BX88296 on your Warn bumper. This kit works with Blue Ox tow bars like the Alpha, Aventa, Alladin, Allure and Acclaim and is designed with 7/8-inch diameter lug pins. I do not recommend drilling out your D-rings as this will reduce their capacity to some unknown degree and could also allow for corrosion.
view full answer... - Blue Ox Base Plates Needed for 2017 Jeep Wrangler with Bulldog Stubby BumperWe have exactly what you need! If you have the Bulldog Stubby Bumper on your 2017 Jeep Wrangler then you can use the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets # BX88357 to attach to the tow bar. These will use the bumper and the 3/4 inch D-ring bumper mounts on your Wrangler so that you can hook up to a compatible Blue Ox Tow Bar like the excellent Alpha # BX7380.
