I know most people around here will say tow hook brackets or a new bumper with a front receiver. To many people have said it. I want to find something different. Let me re-phrase that. I want to build something different. How about bolting a receiver adapter where each tow hook would go? I used a 1/4" plate with grade 8 bolts all the way through the frame. I used big washers on the other side. The plate is big enough I had to grind out a section for the sway bar to fit into. I just picked up two reciever adapters and drilled a couple holes for the bolts. I have a 1 1/4" hitch with a shackle on the end of it that I can just rotate around to where I need it. The recivers just hide right behind the cowl and the hitch and shackle just slides right in place. I'm not an engineer so please give me some opinions and let me know if this was a good idea or if I should think of something else before I need to use it.
