I just don't see it being a strong tug point. But that's just me.

I totally agree, that's why I was asking first before buying one. I have factory tow hooks but want something better.

My JCR bumper with reinforcements is ****. Otherwise I think IRO makes a super strong tow hook set up.

JCR or Logans bumper is probably the way I'm going to go. Got a birthday next month, maybe I can convince the family to pitch in for one.

I highly recommend the basic bumper from JCR with the unibody reinforcements. Very strong and we'll built.
