Question:
I have a Roadmaster Stowmaster tow bar with a coupler for a 2 inch ball that I use to tow my other jeep. Do you have an adapter so I can use this tow bar on a AEV bumper on my 2012 JK 4 Door Rubicon?

Hey Ray, I might have a solution but best case scenario you would need a new tow bar. Does your AEV bumper have D-rings on the front of it? If so, then with a Roadmaster tow bar that attaches to the motorhome in the hitch like the Falcon # RM-520 you could use a D-Ring adapter like the part # RM-035.
The D-ring adapters can't be used with tow bars that attach to the tow vehicle by the hitch ball like your Stowmaster unfortunately.

Hey Ray, did you get a chance to check whether your AEV bumper has D-rings on the front? Knowing that would help confirm if the D-ring adapter and Falcon tow bar setup worked for your Rubicon. Your update could make it easier for others looking to tow with a similar bumper.
