I received this today and installed on my blue ox tow bar. Everything fits as it should and looks like it will do a good job for me towing my jeep.

I bought the Blue Ox Bumper Adapter, part # BX88358, for the Hammerhead Armor front bumper we installed on our 2021 Jeep Gladiator Overland. We plan to tow the Jeep behind our motorhome and the adapter lets us do that, while keeping a clean look for the Hammerhead bumper. Love it!

We towed our Jeep Gladiator from Alabama to the West Coast and back using the Blue Ox adapter with no issues. Takes a couple of minutes to align and secure the adapter pins. When we are not towing, I stow my adapters in a small bag, along with my Air Force One connection, towing light cable and pair of gloves. Leaves a nice clean look, not having a base plate. Still love it!

Weve put over 6K miles on our RV and Jeep over the last year and plan on taking off again in a few weeks. Our Blue Ox adabpter fit perfectly with our Custom Bumper with built in tow package. Extremely tough as youd expect from anything Blue Ox

Very helpful when I was placing my order. Very professional and kind. Thank you etrailer



by:

I shopped with trailer before and once again I’m happy. They always have what I need and this time was no different. I needed to change out couplers on my blue ice tow bar after changing toads. Now I can tow the Jeep with off-road bumper!!! Awesome etrailer I will always recommend you guys!



by:

Awesome service and tracking tool. A fantastic experience … thanks guys!



by:

The actual product appears to be good quality but is grossly over priced. I wouldn’t recommend this unless you have $xxx to throw away. There are very good quality alternatives.



by:

This is the best addition. I had a hammer head number on my F250 and it is much cheaper to just buy these attachments. made hook up and disconnecting so easy my 10 year old son could do it.



by:

I first ordered the wrong part, within a couple days I had the correct one! Thanks to the delightful staff I ended up with an awesome hitch from very friendly staff, I'll definitely be ordering more in the future!

Worked out fantastic with my Westin WJ2 Bumper. Highly recommended vs buying a tow plate. Much cleaner looking.

  • 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport recommended Blue Ox Parts for Flat Towing with Off-Road Bumper
    Thanks for all the details Jason! To get a Blue Ox tow bar to fit with the shackles on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport you'll need either the 7/8" # BX88357 or 1" # BX88358 Adapters, but just be sure to check with the manufacturer of your off-road bumper because not all bumpers with shackles are rated for flat towing. With that being said, here are the parts I recommend for your application: - Tow Bar Adapters 7/8" # BX88357 or 1" # BX88358 - Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420 ...

  • Can A 2021 Ford Bronco With Modular Bumper Be Flat Towed From By The D-Rings
    I believe you're referring to the modular bumper on the 2021 Ford Bronco. From what I can find the D-Rings are only meant for recovery purposes and aren't currently listed as being rated to tow from. This could be outdated information though so I recommend reaching out to your local Ford dealer just to be sure that the specific model you have is capable of being towed from the D-Rings. If not, then the correct baseplate for the modular bumper is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU23XR, which...

  • Base Plate Solution for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Jurassic Park with Oedro Bumper and D-Rings
    That's actually a bumper that your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Jurassic Park edition did not come with from the factory so you would need to go a different route. What you have is an Oedra bumper. Since your aftermarket bumper has D-rings you'd need to go with the D-ring base plate kit adapters like the part # BX88358. This kit fits 1 inch D-rings like it looks like your bumper has. If instead you have 7/8 inch D-rings you'd want the part # BX88357.

    For your Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars # BX88358 you're actually going to want to use the Replacement 1" Pins and Spacers for Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters # BLU83XR instead of the Replacement 7/8" Pins and Spacers for Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters # BLU73XR you're inquiring about.

  • Is There A Compatible Baseplate Available For A 2012 Jeep Wrangler With A SmittyBilt XRC Bumper
    We don't have a confirmed fitting baseplate for a Smittybilt XRC bumper, but since it has a D-Ring mounts you could reach out to Smittybilt and see if this bumper is rated for towing from the D-Rings. If so then you would just need to measure the thickness of the rings to see which adapter will fit. Blue Ox currently offers two adapters, 7/8" thick D-Rings # BX88357 or 1" thick D-Rings # BX88358, that would be compatible with your Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420. If the bumper...

    Flat towing setups can end up being pretty expensive. Especially when you pay to have the components installed but that does seem high. Since you like Blue Ox and your Gladiator has D-rings you'd need either the part # BX88357 if you have 7/8 inch D-rings or the part # BX88358 if you have 1 inch D-rings. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible...

  • Can 2015 Ram 3500 with Fabfours Bumper be Flat Towed
    You can probably come up with a way to install the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX1989 on your 2015 Ram and fit with your Fabfours bumper but we don't have specific instructions for that or how much modification would be required. It does look like your bumper has D-rings so a D-ring adapter base plate kit would be a solution like with the part # BX88357 for if they are 7/8 inch or the part # BX88358 for if they are 1 inch.
