I forgot to mention LoD will weld the tow bar tabs on for free you just need to call the and tell them what kind tow bar setup you want. When I got mine they had free shipping if ordered online, but no way to tell them about the tow bar tabs. So I called and spoke to Chris and he said order it and call back with the order # and we will add it. It was a roundabout way of doing it but my guess was it was easier for them to take the payments online than over the phone. I think it was about a 4 weeks (maybe a little more) to get the bumper.

I'm just talking about the electrical connector/air line/break away switch. I already have a Poison Spyder bumper which I really like. I am going to weld on the Rock Hard Roadmaster brackets for the tow bar. Many have used the D ring tabs but mine are 32" off the ground...even with a high/low hitch it is too high.

Ok, here is what I ended up with. This is a 3/16 steel plate that mounts to the two bolts that hold my winch fairlead on. Nothing fancy but it is up high and out of the way and protected. The Electrical connection is on the right and the air line for the M&G is going to be on the left. Still not sure where the breakaway will be mounted. Those need to be able to swivel so that the plunger is pulled straight out if for some reason the Jeep is no longer directly behind the coach during a catastrophic hitch/tow bar failure.

I put my breakaway on top of the rock hard bumper. Electric connection through a drilled hole on front face. Works great

Looks good!

I may end up painting my electrical connector to give it that 'hidden' look. I am using the Rock Hard brackets also for my Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 tow bar. Hope to get those mounted tomorrow.
