because this happened to me on the weekend i thought i would post it here so that people would know.
a hitch is
not considered a proper tow point.
in order for it to be a proper tow point you need to have a reciever shackle. this is so that we can properly connect a winch cable to your hitch. like so.
these are inexpensive and can come in many different varieties.
this one from princess auto is also acceptable.
perhaps we can get a section together on proper tow points in the frequently asked questions.
i will be checking all jeeps for proper towpoints and other general issues before we head out on sat. the main thing we are concerned about is peoples saftey and we want every one to come out and have a good time. this should be a really good run and i look forward to seeing every one on the trail.
