Hello All,
I currently have a Blue Ox towbar and would like to be able to use it on my Buggy, but do not know where to get the bracks that attach to the front Beam, I looked at the Blue Ox website and they want 350 for a baseplate for a VW Beetle, I know there has to be something out there better and much less expensive, but just do not know where to look
Thanks for any advice you can offer
Rick

Re: Tow bar mounts for the front of my Buggy
The Blue Ox is a great tow bar, but you are not towing a large Jeep or Tahoe. You are pulling a 1500 to 1700 pound buggy.
Why spend $200.00 plus on converting the Blue Ox to pull a buggy?
Buy the tow bar from CIP1 and convert the buggy wiring to work with a simple plug/unplug option on the front of the buggy.
Add a set of new safety chains/cables, and then get on with enjoying the rest of your life.
I have to agree with Bud on this.
