Can Bestop HighRock 4x4 Narrow Front Bumper Be Used to Flat Tow a 2003 Jeep Wrangler  

Updated 07/08/2022 | Published 07/06/2022

Question:

Hello...Im wondering if this bumper would be appropriate to directly attach my BlueOx tow bar to. I already have the BlueOx base plate, looking for a solution that would provide more clearance. Thanks for your time and consideration.

The Bestop HighRock 4x4 Narrow Front Bumper # B4493001 is not rated for towing so you'll want to keep the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX1124 installed on your 2003 Jeep Wrangler or find a front bumper that is rated for flat towing and uses D-Rings if you want to avoid using the base plate kit.

We don't carry any bumpers rated for towing but I know they exist out there. Once you have one properly rated for your application you just need D-Ring adapters to connect your tow bar directly to the bumper. For a Blue Ox tow bar use part # BX88357 for 7/8" D-Rings or the part # BX88358 for 1" D-Rings.
