SD Hooks?

How har or easy would it be to put SD hooks on the front of my truck? I have the factory bumper but think they would be useful when I go offroadin at the farm. Any ideas?

I would imagine it would be as simple as welding them onto the front of the frame.

the hardest part would be getting the hooks off your neighbors SD w/out waking him up lol

IF you bolt them make sure you use good bolts. Ive pulled a hook of a SD one time becuase the bolts broke. Anyhow I dont thinks it would be that hard to do.

You need to hook them directly to the frame but IDK where would be the best spot. I have a front hitch reciver so i havent looked into this. I dont see where would be a good spot with out making them hard to get too. look around on the frame. maybe someone else has a good spot.

Yep the best way would be to cut a hole in your bumper. Unless you mount them right in line with the frame could could bend it.

Thats exactly what i want to do. But i'm lookin more towards the chrome hooks for looks as well. How would i do the fiberglass trim around the hole? This may not happen for a while but i want to have a list of things to do when i can
