Jeep towi
I have a jeep Wrangler that I tow. I am considering changing from the factory bumper, Has anyone done this and will I have an issue with the tow pins on the tow plate with a different bumper.

Thordriver,
There are many, many aftermarket bumpers available for just about any Jeep made. You don't say what year/model you have. But, Blue Ox is one of the prime tow bar makers and, they have many different kinds of tow bar adapters that will adapt from any model they have, to just about any aftermarket bumper. I've been using the Blue Ox ones on our '15 JKUR which, has a Smittybilt XRC Mod front bumper. The recovery tabs which, are about 1" thick and use 7/8" pins are what's used for towing.
I've been doing it that way for years and year without one single issue. The use of those recovery tabs makes for very easy hook up and disconnect. I also use D-ring handled pins from Tractor supply as pins. That also makes for easy pulling of them when it comes time for disconnect. Good luck. It's easy to setup like that.
