My car has dealership installed AC so the front tow point is gone. I got it with a bent drop link I’m sure was the result of a past tow. I’m trying to figure out what my options are and found these tie downs from Jman. Has anyone used these or something similar? If so I would really appreciate a picture of one installed.

Why would you need a front tow point?

QUOTE(930cabman @ Sep 25 2022, 08:06 AM)  Why would you need a front tow point? The recovery I hope I never need. Before me someone pulled it by a drop link that I recently fixed. There is always the possibility of a recovery when I’m not there and I don’t want a tow truck driver damaging anything again. |

My comment was tongue in cheek. Mine has been on the flatbed twice in a short time Hopefully that's a call you will not need to make, but best to have a wrecker on speed dial just in case |
