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!
Comments
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!

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!

See what our Experts say about this Blue Ox Base Plates
- Solution for Flat Towing 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Aftermarket Bumper with Blue Ox Tow BarThe 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.
view full answer... - Adapter to Go From Blue Ox Tow Bar to Aftermarket Bumper of 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with D-RingsSince 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.
view full answer... - What Width Mounting Tabs Does Blue Ox Tow Bar Adapter for Hammerhead/Fab Fours Bumpers FitThe adapter you mentioned # BX88358 will work for you as we have checked with Blue Ox and this can fit tab widths of 3/4 inch wide, 7/8 inch wide, and 1 inch wide with 1 inch diameter pin holes. The distance between the arms is 1 inch.

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.

It specifically states minimum of 0.871" and max hole diameter of 0.934", negligible difference. I suggest verifying the actual of diameter of your specific bumper for fitment. There is the option of using the # BX88358 in 1" diameter (min hole diameter of 0.996", max of 1.06") and reaming...
view full answer... - Will Blue-Ox Base Plate Kit Fit Jeep with Warn Elite Full Width BumperI wouldn't be able to confirm fit of a base plate kit with the Warn Elite Full Width Bumper but since it has d-rings you can use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter part # BX88357 for 7/8" pins or part # BX88358 for 1" pins.
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. Bth of these will work with d-ring thickness anywhere from 5/8" up to 1".
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.
view full answer... - Is There a Blue Ox D-Ring Adapter for a Smittybilt XRC Gen2 BumperIf you do not have a 7/8" pin and need a larger one, you will need the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter - 1" Pin # BX88358.

view full answer... - Can You Swap Out Adapter Lugs On Blue Ox Tow-Bars Before Buying.All of the Blue Ox Tow bars like the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,500 lbs # BX7380 come standard with the triple prong adapter lugs. It will always come with that piece. If you need a different adapter like the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter - 1" Pin # BX88358 you will need to buy it separate.
view full answer... - Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars - 1 1/8 2021 Bronco D-RingsFor off-road bumpers Blue Ox has two D-ring size adapters available. They have the # BX88358 which is for 1 inch d-rings and they offer the # BX88357 which is for 7/8 inch d-rings. They do not offer a 1-1/8 inch adapter.

view full answer... - Is it a Good Idea to Replace 25 Year Old Blue Ox Tow BarThe 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.
view full answer... - Base Plate Kit Adapter Solution for 2014 Jeep Wrangler with AEV BumperBlue Ox sells D-ring adapters for use with their tow bars like with the part # BX88358 which fits 1 inch D-rings or part # BX88357 which fits 7/8 inch D-rings. Since your AEV bumper has D-rings on it I would recommend using one of these adapters to connect to the D-rings instead of trying to also fit a base plate kit with it. It would be worth checking to verify that bumper is flat towable as well.

- Do the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapters Have a Weight CapacityThe Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter part # BX88358 (1" Pin) and part # BX88357 (7/8" Pin) are an excellent option to attach a motorhome mounted Blue Ox Tow Bar such as the Blue Ox Ascent Tow Bar part # BX4370 to an aftermarket bumper with welded-on d-rings. The adapters don't have any sort of weight capacity but they can handle enough for any of the motorhome mounted tow bars they are designed to be used with so there should be no problems here.
view full answer... - Most Cost-Effective Tow Bar Option For 2001 Jeep Wrangler With D-RingsSo there isn't a tow bar that will attach directly to the D-rings on your 2001 Jeep Wrangler; you'd need an adapter and then a tow bar that fits the adapter. Realistically there isn't an inexpensive way to do this, but I'll give you the most cost-effective option, which is an adapter from Blue Ox and one of their tow bars. The correct adapter is going to depend on the diameter of the D-ring hole so the pin can fit properly: - 7/8" Diameter Hole: Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter - 7/8"...
