What do I need to flat tow my Wrangler?
If you have a Reese™, Blue-Ox™, or Road Master™ tow bar bracket we have the ultimate accessory for you. Because of our unique mounting method, you can simply bolt on the following mounts to our front bumper and have a perfect fitting adapter.
RH-8000-RS - Reese tow bar bracket kit
RH-8000-BO - Blue-Ox tow bar bracket kit
RH-8000- RM - Road Master tow bar bracket kit

What winches are compatible with our front bumpers?
Virtually all winches are compatible with our front bumpers. Like all our lowered winch plate bumpers the Warn™ PowerPlant™ and some Zeon™ winches require minor trimming on your frame horn. This can be done in seconds with a grinder or saw. Trimming is required on the driver side inner frame horn. When installing the bumper, use the supplied shorter bolt on the upper, inner hole.



I have a 2012 or newer Wrangler JK. Do I have to relocate my vacuum pump?
Yes. This his a very simple modification that can be made with our RH-5011 Vacuum Pump Relocation Bracket.
