Besides the hooks it's attached to the rear support bar in the
middle. Where did you find out what the hooks were rated at?


In the FWIW department I just replaced my bumper ('84) with (a
better) one from the wrecking yard and the hooks are welded to the
boxes that fit inside the frame and are then bolted.
I guess the weak link would be the VW bolts that attach the bumper
assy to the frame.


Anyone out there ever had a failure with the GoWesty hitch?
