That loop thingy on the rear of Montero's

[ntsqd]

Posting here because of better exposure, I hope. The forged/cast loop bolted to where a pintle hitch looks like it would go in/on the rear bumper. I'd like to buy one of them and maybe a couple. Is there a reasonably priced source? I've seen one that was a weldment, not too interested in those.

TIA

stop by a mitsubishi stealership and talk to the mechanics. they take them off when they install trailor hitches...some of the techs might have a few laying around.

Depending on where you are, check your local pick n pull. I see a lot of them there. It is half price this weekend to boot!

You can also buy something stronger like this for $18/pair...

I just did a yahoo search for bumper fabricator parts to bring that up but I'm sure other sources for similar snatch points exist.

Montero's seem to be rare in the local JY's, but I'll keep an eye out for them. I'm not even sure where a Mitsu dealership is! I'll have to look them up.

I can build those fabricator parts for about what they cost. (http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u196/ntsqd/Toyota Stuff/Patch/3cf4.jpg) What I'm after is a nice forging (?) that I can simply bolt onto a rear bumper rather than a kludgey part that I have to build and then weld on. I want to keep welds out of this part. The Montero parts are intriguing because they appear to use the same bolt pattern as a small pintle hitch.

Thanks for the pointers!

Standard NATO pattern. Land Cruisers have them as well.

Exactly what I was hoping for. My 60 doesn't have it, but it soon will.

You can get it here.

Thank You very much! Price is reasonable too.

Cambo, you have a PM. Nice enough that he picked it up for me, I sure don't expect him to ship it on his dime.
