The link in the post from grtharris for the roadmaster adapters on Amazon work perfect with the modular front bumper. Mine just arrived and they are a perfect fit on the front shackle mounts and on my roadmaster falcon tow-bar. No need for the inner-ring spacer either, the pin is a perfect fit.

Wonder why Roadmaster adapters fit but BlueOx needs shaving? Seems odd to me...

MrJoe, The Roadmaster have a 1.13" opening and the Blue Ox have a 1.05" opening.

Take a look at the Curt base plate attachment for the modular bumper

I have a set of Blue Ox adapters opened to 1.18" I wanted a little room to add some teflon washers.
Just waiting to get my OBX back from the paint shop. Got a dent in the hood sometime before it got to the dealer, they have had it going on three weeks now. Had some paint defect in the paint job so had to redo it. This is almost as bad as waiting on the dirt pile release.

Any issue with fit/rubbing? I checked the factory d rings with my caliper tool last night and measured 1.12" myself. I made the mistake of taking manufacturer and installer shop advice that there was no clevis adapters that would fit and ultimately let them install the blue ox mod bumper kit BX2688 which required them removing my factory d-ring connectors and installing the blue ox connectors. If the Roadmaster attachments fit it would have save me quite a bit of money and left my bumper aesthetically unaffected. I would rather have them convert it back and I'll unfortunately have to eat the cost of the base plate now unless someone wanted to purchase.

Has long as the adapter don't bind I don't see a problem. It's nice to have a little play to help
when disconnecting.

Does anybody have a video of how they are connecting the rear lights, I have the signature LED lights? Is there a reason to splice them in at the light instead of in the front under the dash? getting ready to order all the parts. Lots of good information on these threads. Thanks for everyones hard work.

What type of teflon washers do you use with the blue ox adapters?

Cut them from some sheet teflon that I have.
