I am with blue on this one..THere is a reason why 4x4 shops charge so much it's the reinforcement and strength of the hooks..can't imagine mounting some home depot hooks on that unibody frame ouch..

One of the guys here made some hooks that came off a bus in the JY work but he has two plates that run over a foot long on the side of his unibody and are through bolted in 7 places per side IIRC. The hooks are welded and bolted to that plate and through the frame rail. I have pulled him up and out of the pit with those a time or two but I saw them before I hooked my winch to him.

Some ppl worry about them coming free and becoming a projectile like a cannon ball or something. That's why ppl were concerned and the quality of Home Depot stuff.
