P1000 What did you do to your Pioneer today?

[H2oFowler]

Ok.....see these threads on every other forum, so I thought I'd start it to show all of the great ideas members have on making their rig there own.

Today- I added some cheap tow hooks to front bumper from harbor freight. More astetic that true tow points, but holds my winch hook and great place to tie down on trailer. I used plastidip on the hooks for red color( took idea from my jeep Rubicon) so will see how they hold up.
Spent $15bucks total so we will see how they hold up.

Does the plastic dip cut down on the rattle? Or is there rattle at all?

That's why I dipped them thinking it will cut down on noise. Time will tell,I rode it after I installed this morning and quite for now.

What are tow hooks for?

What are tow hooks for?

Tie down points for trailer primarily. Wanted to attach my winch hook also instead of adding a rubber ball on line.

That's a great idea. Think I might pick some up and paint it on the door latch hoops.

Did you put a plate behind the bumper to keep the bolts from pulling thru?

yes I used 1/2 thick plating.

 

[JTW]

yes I used 1/2 thick plating.

I used 1/4" and haven't and any issues with mine.. you'll be happy!

Thanks.... I meant 1/4 not 1/2 anyway. Glad to hear you've had no issues with yours.
Do you use yours for tie down points?

Yes.. and I crank the s*** out of them! I took 2- 1 3/4" exhaust u-bolts and made rear tie points on the back rops.. I then cut some chain to fit my length, with two big hooks and use it for the rear. Hook them up, give it a little throttle to get the slack out and set the brake. Then I go to the front and ratchet it down tight. It won't move!
