Question:
I am looking for a tow bar to pull my Jeep Gladiator. I have an LOD front bumper. Can I be provided with a few suggestions of tow bars for my setup.

From what I know of LoD Offroad front bumpers, is that they have d-rings in the front for tow bar adapters. Confirm with LoD first or your bumper manual that your bumper is good for towing, then you can use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter - 7/8" Pin # BX88357.
These adapters fit into the d-ring on your front bumper and allow you to use Blue Ox tow bars that are mounted to your motorhome. Here are some tow bars options for you depending on the weight of your Jeep.
Alpha 2 - 6,500 lbs - # BX7380
Ascent - 7,500 lbs - # BX4370
Avail - 10,000 lbs - # BX7420
After the tow bars, you then need tow bar wiring, supplementary braking systems, and possibly a rise/drop adapter. For wiring, you can use the Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This kit will work well with the Roadmaster Invisibrake System # RM-8700.. This braking system only needs to be installed once and then it provides proportional braking for your Jeep. For a rise/drop adapter, I linked our selection so that if you find an adapter is necessary, you can pick the best fit for you.
