I took the tow hooks out, put the hitch behind the front crossmember and secured it. Bought a receiver that you would put a ball in and tow a trailer, and welded it to a winch mount from a ram bar. Yes, I call them Ram Bars haha. Then just hooked it all up.

I'm sure my roomate will get stuck with his 2wd again next time we go trailing hehe

Well this one is mostly for pulling ppl out of the ditch, myself if I get stuck (rarely happens) and my roomate when he gets his 2wd ranger stuck (always happens) lol
