i wasn't really too fond of the brackets that i've seen here. the "two bolts and spacers" approach just looked two cheesey. i made this one from 1/8" aluminum and a piece of aluminum pipe. then cut off the eye-lit from the tow bar so it could be slid over and bolted. i cut off the nut that the tow hook screws into and then just spot welded it back. so if i happen to rear-end something at a low speed, it will hopefully break off instead of screwing off the frame. it was a fairly easy task and i def like the finished product. i might paint it though. sorry bout the dark pics, it was late when i finished it.

 

thats a great idea.
be glad you didn't alread have holes in your front bunper
