96pfinderSE Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Ok so i wanna put some hooks in the back. Is there any place to put them that is pretty sturdy. I want them so i could getpulled out from behind if i get stuck on a skinny trail. Also if i go with a brush guard can i keep the tow hooks that i have on the front? <Justin> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowOSU Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I've used the stock "tie downs" in the back under the bumper to pull out before. Manual claims I shouldnt do that, but I have been stucker than stuck and was able to get out with someone pulling on those, they stayed attached... I am not really sure where to attack hooks as we don't really have a frame per se... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dank Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I have a pair of tow hook plates that I just removed from the rear frame of my Pathy. I just put on a Draw-tite hitch on there yesterday so I had to remove those. If you're interested I'll sell em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_johnson Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I'd say just get a hitch and a hitch receiver D-ring. Thats what I've been using since last spring, and it works well. Easy and quick access to attach a strap, and you know it's the strongest possible recovery point on the vehicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96pfinderSE Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 4 wheel parts has them for 10 bucks. I think were talkin about the same thing. Its the reciever tow hook. They also have the reciever shackle for 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dank Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I'm talking about something like this. Found it on ebay ...$50 seem a lot to you? cause it does to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosspbig Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 50 $ dosent seem like that much for that. if you figure 20-25$ for the shackle and then 20-25$ for the trailer hitch D-Ring. thats about 50$ total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_johnson Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I've seen them going for about $40 from online retailers. I got mine in a package deal from 4wheelparts.com, for $50 I got; a 2x20 tow strap, 1 D-ring, 1 D-ring with a receiver mount, hitch pin, tire pressure gauge and carrying case. Definitely a score If they still are selling those, you should check it out. Otherwise though, around $40 is average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96pfinderSE Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 Yea 4wheelparts still has the recovery kit on sale for like 50. Its a good deal im gonna go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
