Looking good Ron, how did you mount the towing strap as i would like one on mine but wasn't sure if the xmember was strong enough - do you have a picture with the bumper off?

Cheers

Ronnie, Re the tow strap, have you run the bolt through the entire crossmember, with the sleeve in the box section to stop it deforming?
Just trying to think of the best way to mount one on mine....?
