get a(some) d-ring shackles small enough to fit thru those lil slot holes on the flanges that hang down, thats what those are for anyway, or you could buy on of those hooks(i dont know from where) that bolt to the frame

I have the factory tow hook which is attached on the passenger side frame rail. There are also holes on the driver's frame rail for another if I choose to add one there as well.

For the rear... no idea. Unless you have a trailer hitch and use a hitch mounted hook.

you dont need a hook for a hitch to work, all you need is the lil pin, slide the loop of the strap in there and put the pin thru it

Man that's good to know. I was thinking of adding another but I'll hold off on that. Besides... I've got a new issue that has come up on my baby. The clunk isn't cooperating.

Big will, I will bring some tow hooks with me on the 3rd that you can have, and I will show you where I had mine mounted once.
