I might have to look into doing this. Those look really good and my shop teacher has some half inch plate I believe and he is a hell of a welder so I could prolly make something pretty nice.

I like the idea of the open hooks and using a tow strap with loops. Less damage it they break.
Looks good though. Very clean installation.

Back from the dead. Any blueprint for this plate? I can get a steel shop to make these, trying to avoid pulling bumper off twice. Once to measure once to install
