Here's some interesting reading if you're curious about the strength of different grades of hardware.
Potentially useful for those mounting winches, tow hooks, "D" rings, or clevis loops...

Good info Dub.

Too bad he didn't also list the recommended torque specs. Usually torque is determined by the fastener unless it's being used in a special application (such as head bolts) where too much torque can distort the parts being attached. I used to have a chart showing that info but lost it decades ago.

Good thread, I will eventually be attaching a winch to the front bumper of my Trooper and I will come back to this thread when the time comes to mount it.

Thanks.
