To pull things. I thought that was obvious...

it should be fine for recovery, I dont think I would trust it for towing 5k but I wouldnt really use the KJ if I was towing that much.

I thought you were also doing clevis tabs? It looks real nice Inc.

ThunderbirdJunkie's opinion is the opposite.

He would trust it for towing, but not recovery. Recovery can put a much higher load on it than 5,000 lb...

It will be fine for towing and recovery. I didn't feel the need for 2 clevis tabs with a receiver.

With rolled steel,and being only 1/8"walled,I wouldn't trust it for either.I wouldn't even try to jack up the vehicle from it.Now if it was DOM that would be another story.

Good thing it isn't your bumper. :roll:

And I totally and completely trust it and guarantee it will out last anything I put it through, from towing to recovery.

I'll take better ones tomorrow. It was freezing and extremely windy out so I snapped a few and called it good.

OHV- I'll PM you the guy's info if you want to hit him up for bent tubing or whatever.

Love it Inc. 8) Wouldn't change a thing.Matches your front bumper very nicely.
Good to see the mold being broken. Tubers rock!

poke..poke...
well I can see the front real well w/ all that sunshine hitting it...... :P :twisted:

get some dang better pics so I can point out all the flaws and inadequacies..... :P :wink:

Only thing I think would have been cool to see is to have the side tubes plated either on the backside or in between the tubes so the tube could still be seen.
