x2Uhh, why not get a bumper with a tow rated reciever
Maybe you could hang the chains on the D-rings
I thought about that too, but then you couldn't cross the chains and the chains may be too short to reach the D-rings. Could be solved with replacing the chains with longer ones, but it makes me wonder if the bumper was intended for that type of application if it doesn't have places for chains.Maybe you could hang the chains on the D-rings
I am checking out that one, too. As the OP, I think the trailer hitch looks kind of strange welded onto the bumper. If I ever were to tow, I would prefer the tow hitch in the traditional location. I sent Hyline an email asking if the bumper is available without the hitch receptacle, but still haven't heard back.I have a hyline rear bumper and tire carrier. Solid quality, and the carrier has a armature system to swing out with the tailgate, but keeps the weight on the bumper.
The pivot on the bumper has a grease fitting, d-ring shackle mounts, and a tow hitch![]()
Those legal reasons are the same reasons you shouldn't tow with something that's not rated to tow. Ask your insurance company why? Probably best to ask them before you try to get them to cover you for something your aftermarket equipment wasn't rated to do.Dirtworx.... His bumpers have hitches with chain tabs. For legal reasons they aren't rated but id have ZERO hesitation to tow with mine. However he will gladly make the bumper w/o the receiver.
