I would say the stock location for tow hooks is the only place I would trust them. But then you would have to ditch that chrome tubing.

Your bull bar is in the way. your tow hooks would have been in the place where you mounted the fame to the bull bar. I wish that tow hooks came on my 07.

Can we see an up close pic of your bull bar and factory tow hook location? Or does the bull bar mount in the tow hook location? Search "Tow hooks" and "motorhead426" and you'll find a post about the ones I made from scratch...

How strong is the Bullbar? You can probably distrubute the weight on the Bullbar tubing to pull light stuff, but nothing too heavy i would imagine. You would have to be low on the bar and not tie a a rope to the top. That leverage woud not be good for it....lol
