Well after installing my tow hooks.. I was kind of worried about the frame tweaking if I were to be yanked out.. or to pull someone else out.. so I beefed it up a bit... 2 x-members.. 2x2 1/4" steal tubing..should be good and rigid back there now.. got some action pics of my installing them too haha (cold out and snowing a bit)

 

nice cheap fix huh?

 

$10 for material from a friend is cheap enough.. haha

 

looks good but you need to tie it together better. more than 1 bolt per side

 

not bad that stuff is goin for like $3.00 a ft ropund here

 

this was a temp fix.. within the day lol... I'm probably going to weld it to the frame when I get a chance... there was only room for one bolt per side soo...

 

try welding a piece between each, with only one bolt the frame can still twist.

 

i would make one that is held on with the bolts from the hooks from side to side

There is really nothing increasing the strength that way if you pull hard on one of the frame rails. Tie them together with a couple of pieces.

 

I see what you're saying.. ya.. I'll get another couple pieces and wedge them between each x-member and weld them...

 

try tieing them together by making a X shape... and is it snowing??? lol

I'll be making a "K" between the two when I get my hands on some more material and a welder...and YES, it was snowing while I was installing
