well OK got 91 trackick and got universal bumper mount tow bar i have no bumper skins on but want to mount this so that i can tow it in less then 2 weeks .Where would be the best place to mount this (i was thinking of welding the brackets to the flat front part just above the round tube) any help and pics would be cool thx

I boxed in the open sections of frame at the front then welded the brackets to the frame, and added a supporting strap of 1/4" steel under the bracket to further tie it to the frame. I think that flat part is just sheet metal and may tear.

Has anyone fed a pipe through the tube that is already there? and then secure the tow bar arms to the end of it?

Here is an out of focus shot of a tow kit. It uses the tube that is there to secure the arm, then it has a bolt further back that goes through the frame to keep the tow bar from rotating. I believe there is a spot on the frame already there.

well talked with a buddy of mine that flat tows a 4 dr and i have decided to go with his suggestion.... i'm going to use the round tube inthe front (the one that hold the lower a-arms ) i'm going to weld 1 1/2"X1/4 flat bar to the tube and get a piece of 1 1/4" or 1" flat bar drill holes and weld nuts tighten all together and WHAM i'm set ;D ..if it sounds hokey please let me know as i'm doing it this weekend then towing it 700miles north from where i live
