Question:
I heard that you could replace the 2 tow hooks mounted on the top of the front bumper of a Jeep Wrangler with fittings for the Blue Ox tow bar. Do you have such a product?

Hey Kirk,
Blue Ox offers a couple of different adapters that you could potentially use with your Wrangler's bumper. If you have D-Rings on your bumper that are rated for flat towing you could use the # BX88357 (7/8" Thick D-Rings) or # BX88358 (1" Thick D-Rings). They also offer the Blue Ox Heavy-Duty Universal Bolt-On Base Plate Brackets # BX88266, which can be bolted to the bumper and allow you to connect to a Blue Ox or Curt tow bar.
I wasn't able to find any other adapters from Blue Ox but if you see something different let me know and I can check it out and see if I can get it added to our selection.
