Default Detours, Class 3 Recovery

Any one on here running the Detours, Class 3 Recovery brackets. http://www.detoursusa.com/c3r.php I'm planning a custom bumper build soon and these would be nice to mount to the hitch so I don't need to weld in tabs and tie ins on the bumper.

I bolted a pair of tow hooks to my hitch. Similar setup to these but only cost me 15 bucks and has not let me down yet.

Altho with these brackets you could bolt them to the hitch and then weld them which would make for one hell of a strong mount. You would probably rip your hitch off the unibody rails before you tore off the recovery mounts.

If you have a receiver hitch you already have recovery point on the hitch just slide strap loop end into 2 inch hitch opening and run the hitch pin through the strap loop. It will take a lot of weight and is easy to hook up.

I have a hitch but i don't like the center pull for some of the times I've been hung up or trying to get some one else out would be nice to have more options to hook the strap 2
