Rear tow hooks

[BLZN4FN]

What does everyone use as a rear hook?
I do not have a rear hitch. Can D- rings be bolted to the bumper? any info and pics would help.
Thanks

You can only attatch to your bumper if you dont like it and want it removed. /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif

A hitch is the best way to go IMO. Solid pull point and your pulling from the center rather than 1 rail. I have a hitch in the front also.

I've got a towhook that fits in my 2" receiver...I can use it on the front receiver too

I've got both, receiver and bumper mount shackle mounts front and rear /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I mounted by tow hooks to the frame and cut holes in the rear bumper to give access.

I use the 2" ball in my reciever. A strap loop stays on it very good and there are no sharp edges to cut or fray the strap.

Don't use a trailer ball they're not designed for the stress of a strap And they're in single shear= bad. If you have to take the ball off and use a shackle in the hole where the ball attachs.

[/ QUOTE ]I second that! Just imagine a 2lb cannon ball! /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif Take the whole reciecver out, stick your strap IN the hitch where the reciever goes and put the pin thru the strap. Thats how I do it, and no sharp edges.

Thanks everyone I guess I will invest in a rear hitch
to get a pull point.

88-98 tow hooks (~$22 for the kit) bolted to the frame. Haven't been towed out by them yet but I've dragged a great many Jeep and S10 with them.

Yeah, the strap will rub on the bumper, but my bumper doesn't have any sharp edges. It's better than nothing. I didn't want to put my receiver hitch on without a lift because it'd kill my departure angle worse than my spare tire already does.

If you are trying to keep a stock bumper get the mounts from an M1008 or M1009 cut two holes in your bumper an you've got a place to attach mil style d-rings.
