? on mounting tow hooks
Before i am told to search, i did and couldn't find anything to help me. So on with the question, Has anyone here found a way to mount tow hooks on a 2wd xlt with no front crossmember? I don't want a receiver in front, so with that could i buy aftermarket or get a set off a 4wd and drill the frame or weld them on to make them work? i wanna get more into offroading but need some recovery points, so any help i can get would help. Also pics are worth a thousand words

ok well i was out side and checked out to see how thick of a block i would need to get hooks to be able to mount on the inside of the frame rail and its about 2.5" so its a little big.
i would weld in a piece of 2x2 if i had a welder, ive been using this one guys where i work and he got pissed so now its locked up ha so ive been out of luck for a while

thats what i have to deal with. is the 04 any different. Im almost considering putting steel block on the inside of the frame rail to offset the tow hook so it can poke through the bumper gap, just not sure how much it needs to be extended and i dont want to go more than 2"
