Default Flat tow bar that hooks to d-ring mounts?

Does anyone have a flat tow rig that hooks to the d-ring mounts on an aftermarket bumper?

Not sure about using the d-ring mounts, but I know Chris at LoD has custom built a few bumpers with tabs for specific tow bars.

I already have an aftermarket bumper that is why I was asking about one for the shackle mounts. I did a search and it didn't yield the answers I was looking for.

What kind of towing are you going to be doing? I guess a better question is how much are you planning on spending on the tow bar? Or do you already have it?

I'm waiting for the call that my bumpers are ready from LoD. I sent them the "universal bracket kit" for a Blue Ox towbar that they welded onto the bumper for me. This is for towing behind a 35' motorhome for significant distances. There are MUCH cheaper alternatives out there, but I'm not sure I'm willing to trust my $30k jeep to a $49 Harbor Freight tow bar that just happens to have the right sized holes to fit my D-ring mounts.

Then again, if you're just getting it for an emergency "get me home!" option, something like that might work.

Default Tow bar hooked to d ring mounts

I am getting ready to tow my 2dr with my new motor home. 4 wheel parts sells a tow bar and separate mounts that connect to D ring mounts. Looks like a simple way to tow.

Rampage makes the D ring adapter. I got mine are 4 wheel parts,it. Works well with my Reese tow bar. No problems.
