<< Your 91 should have the fiberglass bumper covers. Remove these by taking out a few simple bolts (hidden under some plastic caps, if I remember correctly). You will then see a mammoth closed box frame steel member which is the real front bumper. (This bumper is the same for all Vanagons, regardless of the outer bumper or year.)

It conveniently has 2 sets of holes about 2/3 of the way out from the center, one set on each side. The holes are about 2 1/2 inches apart. If you get the right size u-bolt and run it through each set of holes, you can then attach a tow bar to the u-bolts. Be sure to use hardware adequately sized for the job. >>

or you could just rent a tow dolly from U-Haul for $35-$40 ;<)
