im planning on putting a winch on it if i get it but the stock one hangs down so you don't have to trim the plastics on the front ... but i plan on getting rid of the plastics and just having the metal bumper part on ... thats why i was thinking of flipping it over and it may mount up about where i need it im sure it will take me getting one looking at it and having a custom shop cut and weld or drilling new holes in the mounting plate on the hitch but either way just an idea think its possible ?

 

oh and def just got two of the two hooks from autozone / pepboys for like 10 bucks that has two bolts and thats it there are two perfect holes in the outside of the frame to bolt these too but the prob is like already established i know is the front air dam but ill post up a pic tomorrow or some time soon of how im going to do the front bumper and skid plus you'll be able to see what i mean once i do a body lift how the hitch will mount up

 

This thread is getting a little moldy, but I've none-the-less continued my quest for a suitable tow-hook setup.

I was poking around on the web the other day when I came across some Roadmaster Tow Bars! These things are designed to bolt to the existing frame so you can tow your vehicle behind an RV or something like that.

I'm curious if the forum thinks this might be acceptable alternative to fabricating custom tow hook mounts?

Looks like you could just find a couple of D-Ring's and be in business!?

Thoughts?

 

It looks like they dont have any that mount up to the dakota though... I would kill for some tow hooks/D Rings

 

some guy on here welded his own on with d rings that looked so sick, i forget his name though! im hoping someone will jump in and say or maybe he will he has a red dakota too!

 

Everything is better in red!!!

 

Uhhh... what are you talking about... they have several that mount to Dakota.

Specifically, models 266-3 (4WD only; yrs 01-04) and 246-6 (2WD & 4WD; yrs 97-00)

 

I can't find the link for an 04 4wd dakota

 

I just built a custom grill guard for my truck and welded hooks the hooks to it

 

Pics?
