[urq] Rear tow hook on an urQ

[Bares, Vittorio]

Guess it depends on:
a) how strong you want it
b) how much cutting and welding you are willing to do

I've never had an UrQ - so I really don't know. If its anything like the
4k, there are limited spots to put one w/o messin up the body work. What
I've seen done for medium strength hooks is to weld a loop to the bottom
of the spare wheel well - that's assuming its rust free and you get a
sufficient amount of surface area welded on there.

Subject: Rear tow hook on an urQ

Subject says it all. What are my options ? Bumper is pushed-in, so
useless
for tow.

 

Now, usually, since I don't go off track that much, I use the front tow
hooks to pull people from the snowbanks where they entered in forward
motion
when I was following them. The urQ with both diff locked and studded
snow
tires is the best tow truck I know, better even than a Cayenne on 20 in
snows (the guy was a bit surprised by the traction the urQ was able to
provide). It's one of those "priceless" moments.

 

But since Geraint will now have a Quaife in addition to newish studded
tires, and I should be in front of him at no price, I _may_ need a few
pulls
from behind now.J
