Anyone make rear tow hooks? Need Help
another good thing about a front hitch besides the boat and winch deal is it makes a awesome step for working on your engine. when i used to have a k5 on 38s i had a bar that went in and stuck out a bout a foot and went the length of the bumper. it wast just like working on car standing on that thing
pintle is good, just make sure it doesnt stick out crazy far. i decided to put on on my suburban years back which already had a huge long rear and ended up getting hung up cause of that thing
heres a 85 i had. i put on mid 90s fullsized chevy truck front tow hooks on the back. i remember it being pretty easy. theres already two holes back there on the frame. this was 10 years ago so i think i just had to drill one hole to match it and bolted it right on. never broke on. i actually tore my frame right after the shackle trying to pull out a stuck h2

If I were to put recovery D rings, pintle hooks etc on the back OR front of my blazer I'd box the frame for a foot at least if it's possible. Brace the 2 frame rails together with 1/4" hot rolled flat bar to reinforce/strengthen it. Like a Hummer has D rings on the rear I'd beef up the frame to handle the impending "OMFG that's gotta hurt" scenerio. <---abig84
Using a class III receiver hitch rated for 5000lbs trailer weight to yank a vehicle out of the mud or ??? is asking for trouble.
I've done it & thankfully I've been lucky, even with the Freightliner I tugged up an approach in the winter. All I have out back is the receiver & a receiver hook in it during the winter.
