i have finally got around to fabbing up my front bumper. as some of you probably remember, a couple of weeks ago i did a swan dive out of my engine bay from 5ft in the air off of my stock bumper . i have the layout pretty much done and welded together [ will post pics this afternoon soon as i get them loaded], but i need some creative ideas for recovery hooks, such as what you guys have used, mounting locations and methods of mounting. my design consists of two 4inch square tubes [3/16inch wall ] welded together laying flat. one tube is cut to 76inches, second tube is cut to 36inches. the long tube is next to grill/radiator support, short tube is in front, to give me an 8inch standing platform in front of radiator and will have the push guard from original welded to mounting brackets and bumper with extra gussets and bracing[sp]. any pics you have of tow/recovery hooks and mounting locations would be great.
