I am trying to find out what my aftermarket bumper options are if I tow my Jeep behind my motor home. What I hope to find is an aftermarket bumper that would allow for a bolt on solution for the tow bar brackets required to tow behind my RV. I have a Falcon II tow bar that remains attached to the motor home and currently have the receiver brackets bolted to the frame of my Jeep with stock bumper. I would like to upgrade my bumper to a winch bumper and I would rather bolt on, than be required to weld on brackets.

Anyone have an aftermarket bumper on your Jeep and tow it behind a motor home? What brand is your bumper?

 

The XRC gen 2 lets you add a tow bar to it. Just installed mine and saw it in the instructions

 

I have the LOD armor lite midwidth. Not sure if you are against welding the tabs or just can't weld like me, but LOD welded the tabs on the bumper for me when I ordered the bumper. It's been working great for the last 2 years.

 

+1 I have a Blue Ox Aventa tow bar. Blue Ox makes an adapter that will hook directly up to the 7/8" d-rings that Smittybilt uses on their bumpers. It's fast and convenient. I really don't understand why more bumper manufacturers don't use a 7/8" ring. Most of them are 3/4".

 

Rockhard front bumper is available in both steel and alum. All you tell them is which hitch you are running and that is the attachment they send with the bumper. Put it on my husbands 2016 JKU.

 

Do you have a picture showing this setup?

 

Note the attachment points next to the D-rings. This is the alum version and weighs only 38 lbs.

 

That looks really slick!

 

Curious in that picture where you have your electrical hook up hidden?

 

Currently, we haven't gotten the rest of the tow hook-up set-up. Max is outfitted for towing but not Tank(JKU).
