Hi ya' Tom!

Yeah, I have that flimsy bracket/"Tow Hook" from the driver's (L) side. The reason I asked: the beefier "Mount Bracket" on the right side bolts up with two bolts and a "J" hook into a frame hole; those same bolt/frame holes also exist on the left side, making me wonder if there was a similar part (maybe for whatever reason, on RHD models) for the driver's/Left side? You're right, though, snatching from that side might be detrimental to exhaust.

That Left "Tow Hook" isn't engineered to be a tow point; maybe it served a purpose of tiedown point for transport?

Great job on the hitch. I recently installed my Tone-style, notching my gas tank skid in order to get the L bracket of the hitch tight under the rear frame crossmember.

Take care, Bren.
