You'll need more than a metal break. lol!!

Awesome on stating what your truck is. To make it easier, input that to your User Profile. Then it will show up in every post for people to see.

To do this, scroll near top of page, left side find USER CP.

Left panel, find Edit Your Details, enter truck info there. This can also be done in Edit Signature.

Thanks for correcting me on the CDL rating.


FWIW, I'd like to see picture of the body mount. You can reweld it. Just not sure from your description on how it failed.


Here is an example of aftermarket bumper (not made anymore) that is somewhat common design but different makers out there.

This one bolts directly to the front cross member in the similar manner that I configured for mine. However, I made mine robust, especially so it won't rotate. In any case, it has held up to lots of pulling and he weighs 6K+

Picture taken at Easter Jeep Safari a week ago.

You could just get a used hitch from a junk yard, cut the mounting brackets off the ends and weld it to the frame like I did. Then get something like this for it http://www.autoanything.com/towing/t...r-mount-eyelet
