Hey guys, how's it going Today we're gonna be going over the adaptor for extended D-ring bumper mounts to Roadmaster tow bars. So here's what our adapter looks like, and what this is gonna do is, it's gonna allow you to attach a Roadmaster Motorhome-Mounted Tow Bar, a motorhome-mounted tow bar is one that installs into the hit receiver on the motorhome and it gets stored there while not in use. A couple example of those motorhome-mounted tow bars is the falcon 2s, which is what we have here. The black Hawk, the Sterling, and there's several others. And this is gonna allow us to attach to D-ring bumper mounts, welded onto our off-road Jeep bumpers. So a lot of Jeep owners like to install aftermarket bumpers on their Jeep, for one reason or another.

And a lot of them actually have these little welded on D-rings and they like to use these for flat towing. Now, the reason they use these for flat towing is because most of the times your base plate kits aren't gonna fit with an aftermarket bumper, therefore, it's kind of their only option. It is very common to tow with these D-rings but I would like to point out with, you do need to message your manufacturer, check with them, to make sure that these are rated for towing because not all aftermarket bumpers allow you to flat tow with these. So it is very important that you do reach out to the bumper manufacturer and make sure you're safe to do so. So there's a couple criteria we need to ensure our D-rings have in order for this to be compatible.

Now number one, this kit here is specifically designed for one-inch thick D-rings. That's probably the most common but there is another one that's sort of common as well. And that's a seven, eight-inch thick D-ring. And in which case there is still an adapter that you can use for this, but this particular one won't work. So this one is specific to those one-inch and that's simply referring to the width of the D-ring.

We also need to be sure that the hole is going to be either seven eights of an inch diameter or one-inch diameter, or if it's smaller than that, you could actually drill it out. But keep in mind, there is some liability with that, with the bumper manufacturer. So those are the two things that we need to be sure of. This particular kit here that Roadmaster offers, now there's actually a couple different versions, we talked about there being one for the seven, eight-inch thick shackles; there's also two different ones for the one-inch. We have the standard ones and these here are actually the extended length ones.

So the extended length is referring to this portion here, and what this allows us at four is, some of the aftermarket bumpers have different shaped D-rings and some of them extend out a little bit more, making them incompatible with the standard version, therefore, this extended version there is gonna be required for certain bumpers. Now, if you have the one-inch thick D-rings, I recommend using this regardless because it's the most widely compatible. So that's why I like this one best. So in regards to hooking up to our Jeep, this is very, very easy. This is easier than most base plates. So basically what we're gonna do is, on one side here, we're gonna have a pin, got a little keeper there, we just pull that pin out; And then we're gonna just simply pull this pin out and you can see it just falls right out. And then our ears are gonna drop to the side here and then we're done. This is pretty how it's gonna be, we're just driving around town in our Jeep there. We would then just simply stow the tow bar on the motorhome and these are gonna stay attached. So you don't have to worry about storing these separately and then we're ready to hook up. We would obviously just do that same thing in reverse here. Now, keep in mind. If you can't remove this pin here, you need to go ahead and break the tension free from your tow bar arms, that typically happens after you've been towing and the arms are locked out, or if you're not on level ground, but pretty much every tow bar has some sort of pr
