Question for Jeep JK toads with aftermarket bumper

As I am going to use the two D ring attachment pads on my bumper for my Tow bar, where do you attach your safety cables. I know from my research some bumpers come with tow bar points and the D ring pads are used for the cables. I'm considering bolting down two more pads.

Any pictures? This is my Jeep.

Bosunmate,
Yes, I've added some cable eyes to points that no one thinks of in JKs. Attached are a couple of photos. Where they are is, on the ends of the front cross member. I used 1/2" diameter ones when I did it. But, you can easily fit 5/8" ones in the same spot. There's plenty of strength in that cross member end.
Scott

Use existing holes or make holes. Heavy duty quick links work well for me.
