Question:
I am looking to buy a tow bar for my Jeep Wrangler to pull behind my bus. however my jeep has aftermarket front bumper. My question is if I was to send a picture of the front bumper to you do you think you can point me in the right direction of which unit I will need to purchase from you. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Expert Reply:
If the aftermarket bumper on your Wrangler is flat and square to the tow bar, you could use a bolt-on base plate, part # BX88230. This base plate would be compatible with a Blue Ox tow bar, but if a Roadmaster bar were used, an adapter like # BX88151 would need to be used.
Roadmaster does indeed offer base plates that are compatible with Warn or Warn Elite aftermarket bumpers installed on 2012-2013 Wrangler models.
You're more than welcome to reply to this email and send a photo, but the name of the bumper manufacturer would probably be the most helpful information of all.
In addition to the base plates and a tow bar, you'll also need a solution so the lights on the jeep work in tandem with those of the bus, as well as a supplemental braking system. If you'd care to reply with the model year of your Wrangler, I'd be happy to make some more recommendations.
