AEV Front Bumper (Backcountry) tow loop options?
I just picked up this 2016 Backcountry which has AEV factory installed bumpers and it does not have the front tow loops. Quick check of web shows AEV discontinued them. I wil call tomorrow? What other options do I have or have others used? Ideally I'd love to not take the bumper off. I do a couple Jamborees a year and need tow points. If I could end up with D-Rings that would be fine. Not sure where to mount or how though outside of the AEV ones. There are holes in skid plate right below fog lights where AEV ones slide through provided slot to bolt to frame, Picture of them below.

Are you flat towing or looking for a recovery point? If flat towing, Maximus-3 makes brackets to fit.
I think you can remove those rubber bumper caps and install these from Teraflex,

Just recovery points. I am sure there is ample debate about removing crush cans but clearly most run around without them. If it's that easy I'd be good. I'll take a look later. Thanks.
