Towbar Attachment to new bumper

[Warthog]

Barrman, when you modified the M35 towbar attachments for your front bumper, which did you use? Front or rear? I have both available and was wondering if I should use the 3/4" or 1". Didn't I see a picture of yours somewhere?

Here is what I will be attaching it to.

I used the rears bored out to 1". I used the top bolt of the bumper through the frame and drilled another leaving the 3rd hole open next to the valence:

Then on the motor home recovery, Kwai and I drilled all 8 holes and put a set of fronts on it:

The fronts are better in my opinion. Bigger, already 1" hole and more mounting support. However, they take up more room. I would have been better off cutting the 4th bolt hole off a front set and putting what was left on the M715 front bumper. I was charged $30.00 by a machine shop for boring the holes out to 1". I just didn't want to cut up a front set because you never know what the next recovery won't have.

Mounting them vertical on the front bumper might work for you however.
