Question:

Hello. Im wanting to flat tow my 2013 Jeep JK and Im starting from scratch. I currently have the Rugged Ridge XHD bumper with 1" D rings, but am having a hard time finding the base plate adapter for blue ox at a reasonable price. Im looking to possibly go with the etrailer sd towbar. Any suggestions?

The Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter - 7/8" Pin # BX88357 for your 1 inch D-rings.
The etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # e47ZR.
The Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System w/ Wireless Coachlink Monitor - Proportional # DM86VR.

These are the main components that you have to have to safely and legally flat tow a vehicle. You would normally need a set of safety cables but this particular tow bar comes with them.

Im just trying to verify that the Blue Ox BX88357 adapters will work with the SD and XHD non binding tow bars.

@Doylke No, the Blue Ox # BX88357 adapters will not work with the etrailer SD and XHD tow bars. The BX88357 adapters will only work with the Blue Ox brand tow bars such as the Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420.
