So ive been drawing up ideas for my front, dont want nothing all complicated.
Attachment 226425
Just a streight up 2x6 maybe 2x4 with the tie ins at the end. Then the wings will just be cut from the 2x4/6 and welded closed. The reciever tube will be welded through the bumper both front and back. Ill probably have to make my own tie ins but thats not a problem. Ill do something similar for the back too. But u forsure want to see how monsters sliders mount so I can come up with a deisign, d ring tabs will bw placec after I find out how wide the plate that the winch will mount to will be

1/4 plates that grabs all 14 bolts with inner 1/4 plate and weld some 1/4 one each side that poke thru the bumper just far enough for the d-rings, that you later can add a 2x6 tubing for the middle later in the future or even sell them and build something else.
Or I sell you my stock hooks that are on my 98.
I sold a set to meangreen and now nfj79 has them.

isnt that pretty much the same thing as this i see 5 bolts on that one and this one 4 and could be extended for a 5th.... i thought the problem was that they didnt connect to the front plate of the bumper

It is but its not and a stronger system to a point. Where the other its two and a hook and however far back. Its is a soild piece of metal that grabs more farther back and more structural metal. Also it only out maybe a inch and a half maybe inch same as a tab welded on a bumper.

Nope there isn't, the only thing is that with toxin design its bracing is as a whole where the front end become stronger and a soild piece.

I dont see the issue with your design, only thing I can think of if we pulled it at an angle ut could bend, but the force it would take to bend a tow hook is insane. Just bolt and weld the hook to the plate, like you said your gonna eventually get a bumper and these are only for just in case you happen to get stuck.
