Doesn't look bad. If I had one there it would be torn off nearly immediately. I don't know how a car with 3 feet of ground clearance drags on everything, but somehow I manage to.

I like the fact that you made it yourself. That's always a plus in my book.


But it looks like you mounted it to the stock loop? I don't think those are very strong at all, so I wouldn't tow your car with it. It'll also definately flex side to side as it acts as a lever.

I also don't care for those towhook mods. wink.gif
