Nice heavy adapters. Comes with 6 shim washers. I used one on each adapter. I used JB weld to hold them in place so I don't have to fool with them. Arrived quickly in a nice heavy box. I'm using them on my 2021 Jeep Wrangler with a Blue Ox Avail tow bar.
by: Jim07/26/2023
Great service. Original order came with mismatched parts (one was bigger than the other). No fault of eTrailer. Contacted the manufacturer and they sent a new set and covered return shipping. Adapters are very heavy duty and come with spacers to ensure a good fit. Oly complaint is the paint started chipping within a week. no problem - I'm used to repainting trailer hitch and Tow Bar hardware regularly.

Work great with Jeep after market bumper
by: Jon 02/12/2023
The adapters worked as described. The only issue I have is the price. Compared to other manufacturers, the Blue Ox adapters were double in price.
However, the delivery process and the customer service from etrailer was amazing which help take the price sting away.

Always ship quick! Next days, 2, or 3 day shipping is pointless if you take 3 days to ship. You can always count on your stuff to ship in most cases next day!

I give etrailer full marks. I ordered my parts and there was a packaging error from the manufacturer . etrailer was very responsive in getting me a new order shipped. They always answered the phone, were professional and caring.

You were the only ones that actually the part in stock. Shipped to me in three days. Good service on the phone plus I received the part when you said I would. One frustration, the cost was almost $100 more that from the original manufacture, I had to have the part quickly as Blue Ox production was six weeks out. The part cost is out of line anyway for two eyelets. Thanks

Works well but way overpriced. Two eyelets to hook up to a factory steel bumper were as much as the base plate. That is wrong. They work great, one issue, they painted the shim washers, I had to sand that off to make them work better, added a shot of lithium grease.

great towed to Montana from Ca and back it worked flawless. so easy to connect
by: David 03/13/2021
Just what I needed. I have a wrangler with an off road bumper and winch and needed adapters for my blue ox tow bar. The first adapter I order was to large and etrailer said no problem. I sent the first one back, got the right one and now it’s Moab bound!!!
by: AJ07/10/2022
Really solid build. Fit perfectly to my bumper and looks like these will last for years to come. I bought a used older tow bar and these fit just fine.
by: Tyler12/29/2021
James was very helpful in trying to set me up with all the items that were
needed to pull a jeep behind my motor home.
The extra parts that were ordered were returned and payed back to my account
in a very timely manner. Great experience!

Worked well but very difficult to get the washers in place. One thicker washer would be better.

See what our Experts say about this Blue Ox Base Plates
- Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapter for 2020 Jeep Gladiator with EAG JJKFB021 BumperThe Blue Ox tow bar adapter that will fit your new EAG JJKFB021 Bumper are the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adaper - 7/8 Inch Pin # BX88357. I was able to confirm that the d-rings on your aftermarket bumper use a 7/8 inch pin and have a 1 inch plate thickness where the d-rings mount. The # BX88357 has 7/8 inch pins and will fit plate thicknesses up to 1 inch, so you won't need to use any spacers to fit the bumper. These adapter will work with Blue Ox Aladdin, Alpha, Allure, Ascent,...
view full answer... - Base Plate Adapters for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with 3/4 Inch D-Rings and 7/8 Inch PinThe correct base plate adapter brackets for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that has 3/4 inch D-rings that use the 7/8 inch pin is the Blue Ox # BX88357. This will fit the D-rings perfectly so that you can connect to your existing Blue Ox Tow Bar.
view full answer... - Off Road Bumper Adapter Weight Rating for 2020 Jeep GladiatorThe Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter # BX88357 has a maximum rating of 10,000lbs. You would also want to check with the bumper manufacturer and see what their weight rating for Dinghy towing would be. So they will not be strong enough for what you want to do. There are currently no off road bumper adapters that are rated for over 10,000 lbs. And with checking with the baseplate manufactures the vehicle specific mounts are not rated for anything over the 2020 Jeep Gladiators GVWR....
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between BX88357 and BX88296You are correct that both the # BX88357 and BX88296 (no longer available) are both the same part with the same size specifications. The # BX88357 is just the newer version of the aftermarket bumper adapter so that's the one I recommend using as long as your TeraFlex Epic front bumper is certified from the manufacturer to be used for flat towing your Jeep.
view full answer... - Are The Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters Compatible With The Blue Ox Acclaim Tow Bar The Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars # BX88357 is only compatible with the Aladdin, Alpha, Ascent, Avail, and Aventa LX tow bars so it would not be compatible with a Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX4330.
view full answer... - Is There a Blue Ox D-Ring Adapter for a Smittybilt XRC Gen2 BumperIf you do not have a 7/8" pin and need a larger one, you will need the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter - 1" Pin # BX88358. This includes pins, clips, washers, and lock nuts and will get you the clearance needed to fit your Smittybilt XRC Gen2 bumper.
view full answer... - Is Blue Ox Ascent Tow Bar Compatible With Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper AdapterI confirmed with Blue Ox that the Blue Ox Ascent Tow Bar # BX4370 is absolutely compatible with the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter - 7/8" Pin # BX88357. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out well of the Blue Ox Ascent Tow Bar # BX4370.
view full answer... - Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets for 2014 Jeep Wrangler with Paramount BumperBased on the tab dimensions you provided for the Paramount Off-Road Bumper on your 2014 Jeep Wrangler, you will need the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets # BX88357. I confirmed this as well with my contact at Blue Ox. These 3/4 inch bumper mounts will attach to the tabs on your Jeep so that you can use your Aventa II tow bar. I do recommend making sure that the Paramount Bumper is rated for towing the Jeep. This kit includes the brackets, pins, clips, washers, and lock nuts.

- Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars - 1 1/8 2021 Bronco D-RingsFor off-road bumpers Blue Ox has two D-ring size adapters available. They have the # BX88358 which is for 1 inch d-rings and they offer the # BX88357 which is for 7/8 inch d-rings. They do not offer a 1-1/8 inch adapter.
view full answer... - Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter for Flat Towing a 2020 Jeep GladiatorYes, I have a great part for you that will allow you to flat tow your 2020 Jeep Gladiator after you upgrade the bumper. I recommend the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter item # BX88357. This adapter lets you use your motorhome-mounted Blue Ox tow bar with your aftermarket off-road bumper. It is only for 1" D-Rings and you will want to verify with the manufacturer that the bumper is rated for flat towing. I have attached a picture of this adapter being used to give you an idea...

- Which Blue Ox Base Plate Kit Solution Fits 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL UnlimitedYes, the Blue Ox adapter part # BX88357 does fit the Smittybuilt XRC bumper you have installed on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited.
view full answer... - Adapter for Blue Ox Tow Bar to Connect to Off-Road BumperBlue Ox does not make an adapter specifically for a DV8 bumper so the only adapter we have which may work for you is the Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars - 7/8" D-Rings # BX88357. This adapter is designed to be used on bumpers that have 7/8" diameter lug pins and is compatible with Blue Ox tow bars. You would need to have both the correct size pins and compatible tow bar for this to work.
view full answer... - Recommended D-Ring Adapters for a Blue Ox Aventa II Tow BarThanks for the picture! Yes, they will. There are two D-ring adapters that will work with the Blue Ox Aventa II tow bar. They are the 7/8" Off-Road Bumper Adapter item # BX88357 and the 1" Aftermarket Bumper Adapter item # BX88358.

- What Adapters can I use for Using the Blue Ox Avail with my Off Road Bumper?There are tow fgreat choices for adapters and it will all come down to the diameter of the hole in the D-ring. For a 1" hole use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter part # BX88358 and for a 7/8" hole diameter use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter part # BX88357. Bth of these will work with d-ring thickness anywhere from 5/8" up to 1".
view full answer... - Is 1/16 Inch Too Much Play for Blue Ox Bumper AdapterYou can definitely use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter - 7/8" Pin # BX88357. The 1/16" space you were talking about is not too much play, it is such a small amount it won't be impactful. Drilling the holes out is not something I recommend doing; anytime you can avoid modification you should.

- Tow Bar for Using D-Ring Bumper Mounts on 1997 Jeep TJ With Bulldog Stubby BumperI spoke with a representative of Blue Ox, who informed me that the older BX7330 tow bar would not work with the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets for Bulldog Stubby Bumpers # BX88357. To flat tow with a Bulldog Stubby you would need a Blue Ox tow bar compatible with the Blue Ox Adapter Brackets such as the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380. I've added links to video reviews of each tow bar for you to take a look at.

- Blue Ox Towbar - 7/8 Pin Item # BX88357 Used on 3/4 inch Thick D-Ring BumperYes, the Adapter Lug for Off-Road Vehicle Bumpers # BX88357 does come with washers/spacers to make up the extra room since you have 3/4 inch wide d-rings. This is the correct pin diameter too of 7/8 inch as well.
view full answer... - Is There An Attachment That Can Be Bolted Or Welded To A Jeep Wrangler Bumper For A Blue Ox Tow BarThe only Blue Ox tow bar compatible option we currently offer would be to weld on separate D-Rings to the bumper and then use one of their adapters 7/8" D-Rings # BX88357 or 1" D-Rings # BX88358. You would want to check with a local fabricator that the bumper can handle being flat towed and that the D-Rings are also rated for this use.
view full answer... - Blue Ox Base Plates for 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with ARB Stubby BumperI reached out to my contact at Blue Ox and he said for the ARB Stubby Bumper on your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you will need to go with D-Ring adapter brackets # BX88357 to connect with a tow bar. I also recommend verifying with the manufacturer that this bumper is rated for towing. The included washers will allow you to attach these to the 3/4" D-rings on the bumper to provide a connection point for Blue Ox tow bars. In order to flat tow your Jeep you will also need the tow bar...
