[sittin_high]

you sure? the return on the right looks like it needs more bend to match the left...

 

[zr2toxj]

Yeah that last bend on the right is open. You using a protractor?

What i'm doing for my bumper is using a tow hook set as a reinforcement plate for my mounts, so i'll make my mounts and then weld my tow hook plate to the outside of the mounts. Haven't decided if i wanna flip the hooks up for more clearance or not. Maybe something to think about...

The tow hooks and mounting plate i have..

The bumper with the tow hook mounted. EDIT: Hook is singular because the guy i was wheeling with had no recovery points so i lent him one of mine haha. (sorry for the crappy picture it's the best one i have)

I'm going to put in panels on the sides of the center section and gusset around the hoop a bit too. Good luck with your build!
