Question:

I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with a Warn front bumper with winch. I have a Ready Brute elite tow bar and I am wondering what I would need to buy for a tow bar adapter? I have read all the forums and they suggest not towing directly to this bumper. I have also not been able to find an adapter that works with this bumper. Please help:

Expert Reply:

If you don't have the Warn Elite then you would need to confirm with the manufacturer that the bumper is rated for flat towing versus just trusting forums. If it is rated by the manufacturer for flat towing then you can use the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars - 1" Thick # RM-035-1 or # RM-035 for the 3/4 inch thick.

If your Warn bumper is the Warn Elite, then you can use the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 1439-3.
