RV towing jeep with non OEM bumper question

[Kpalas]

Hey everyone, looking to tow my JKU behind my rv. I have poison Spyder brawler lite front bumper with skid. Is anyone towing their jeep with aftermarket bumpers, and if so how are you doing it?

I believe Moochie flat tows his Jeep.

I've seen people make a tow bar that attaches to the d-ring mounts and the opposite end connects to the hitch.

I do and with an LOD bumper. I used the same brackets that came with my Falcon 2 tow bar. These are the same brackets I used with my OEM bumper. They had to be modified by a welding shop to work with this bumper.

Here is a photo of the brackets minus the yokes that attach to them.

Yes I've seen that too but I just wasn't sure if I should rely on those that much. The welds on mine are pretty stout, just not sure, or if it's legal.

Ok, thank you for the info and pics.

These are what I started out with for my stock bumper. They had to be modified for my LOD.

Roadmaster makes some different models for use with Mopar & Warn aftermarket bumpers.

Thank you, appreciate that! Unfortunately I don't foresee being down that way anytime soon.

Clem what part of central California are you in?

I grew up in Sacramento and it was called the Central Valley.

Sac is NorCal now. Clem is closer to me.

I don't need a discount to see Goofy every day, I live with her, lmao

My tow bar uses the d-ring shackle mounts so I don't loose any more clearance.

Speed bumps are a killer.

I've always wanted to try these with my Jeep and a blue ox tow bar. Any body ever use them?

I flat towed mine to Moab and back and no probs. I bought the light harness from the stealership and made brackets that fit my AEV bumper ( no longer have ) that worked perfect with my blue ox tow bar. Here are a few pics. Need to make new ones for Poison Spyder bumper I got last summer to make it work again.
