Here's a little reading material to further confuse you Sue...

Since I've used the front hook to recover, & to be recovered...
I'm thinking a rectangular base plate, with a clevis block welded to it, bolted to the frame in place of the stock hook, with the stoutest grade of metric hardware available, SHOULD be adaquate in most situations...thoughts?
That being said, I've used the stock transport tie down loop on the rear for recovery too, but have heard from those more experienced than I, that it's designed as a tie down for shipping only, & not up to the rigors of off road recovery.
That's why I only use my receiver hitch now, I know how built that is...
