4 Bolts in the center of the rear bumper.....what to do with them? (1 Viewer)

[Francis K]

Just putting some finishing touches on the truck, which I'm sure I'll be doing forever. Got those 4 bolts there, I don't have any fab/weld capabilities so does anyone make anything that bolts up in there? Functionality would be great but also to just not have 4 random holes in the center of the NWTi bumper.....

I was thinking a hi-lift jack point/adapter would be real nice in case I need to change a tire, is that even feasible?

It's designed for a pintle hitch.

Toyota makes a towing hook that bolts to the bumper using those holes.

Edit: Douglas S beat me to it

Thanks guys....

A hi lift jack adapter would be more useful, I wonder if anyone has rigged it up as anything else....

You can find a pintle pretty easily. Princess Auto up here carries them so I imagine the Harbor Freight and Tractor Supply's of the world also would.

Two of the holes are just that - holes. Two are threaded to M12x1.25 so you will need the corresponding hardware.

I got something like this for use with a bike carrier. It's cheaper than a frame attached receiver hitch and also not a rust magnet like those tend to be. And yeah, it bolted right up.

My 93 truck came with the hitch. I don’t think it’s very strong and I haven’t used it. I’ll post a pick.

Bought an OEM Toyota pintle hitch many moons ago from a guy in Sudbury, ON Canada who was importing the 70 Series pickups for the mines there. They would strip off the stuff they didn’t need (incl some complete vehicles that they somehow managed to get licences). I’m sure the pintle hook works just fine if you ever needed to use it.

This is what mine looks like. (I was selling my car so I took this pic).

Guess it could also be used in conjunction with a tow package to tow and also use for mounting your bikes possibly?

This is a Holland Ball Pintle Hitch. I have used it many times, mostly to haul 6x12 UHaul tandem axle enclosed trailers full of whatever. I've never had an issue with using it.
