Default Tow hooks

What's a good place to mount and what's the best way to do it?

well, the way our front bumpers are, it's going to require some creativity i think.

Your best bets are where the bumper mounts up. Yours should have 4 bolts in the front and 2 on the side of each frame rail.....

There may be a kit out on the market, i'm not sure?

There are two nice cut outs in our bumper that look like they would be for towhooks but I never really looked to try and figure how it would work. Would be pretty sweet if you could make something work through there.

there was a guy here that made a custom (or modded a kit) and got front tow hooks... i think he hangs out in the off roading section, you might want to try and post up in there and see if they have any ideas for ya... also you could do a search and see what comes up.

Cheers.
