I'm putting together my FJ40, and want to have it set up for winching and recovery.
Due to the power steering gear - I think the only winch that will fit is a Warn 8274. Expensive, but based on what I've read so far ... it's a great piece of equipment.
I'm looking at the front bumper, and I want a couple of shackle mounts. My bumper is pre-drilled with 4 holes, but it doesn't look like the right place (see first pic). The right spot (based on my limited knowledge) looks like the spot where the bumper and frame come together (second pic).
Please give me some help on this...
Also - should the mounts be welded or bolted on?
On the back - it seems people really like the pintle hook for recovery. Do you really need shackles on the back bumper?
-Thanks!!
