Rear tow point?
Post up pics! I'm thinking I need some rear tow points and need some ideas. I might ditch the rear bumper an bolt directly to the frame there or do something homebrewed using the under the body hitch mounting bolt holes.
Thanks guys
Thanks guys

the best recovery in the rear would be a bumper, second best to that is to get a hitch and a d ring reciever. those are really your only 2 options for recovery points in the rear, iv seen guys custom some hooks and mount them to the unibody but those are nearly as strong or safe, and can easly rip the unibody

I wish I could afford a bumper but those are expensive. This is on my trail rig so if the tow point does tear out its not a big deal to me

This is the only pic of my rear bumper. A guy in my local Jeep club built this and I bought it off his old rig when it got scrapped, but it has 2 D-rings and a hitch in the center. I have since cut the tire carrier off and bolt my spare to my trailer as I don't want to carry a 36'' tire on the trails. I always wheel with guys that can either get to my trailer and get it for me or let me use theirs until we get back to camp.
