    Hey etl,

    Do you trust these for a recovery situation? The junkyard here had some troopers and some rodeos. I would like to do this if its strong enough.

    It'll be strong enough...

    Looks like a rock snag just waiting to happen.

    Hmm the 4x4 clubs over here are real specific, basicaly i have to have rated tow hooks, so off come the stock vx one and gonna make up a bracket on the rear or get a tow hitch one,
    most likely go for the towhitch hook so i can have either a tow bar or a hook.
