WHILE Coming back across Texas, stopped at the 406 truck stop on I-20 and spotted this set up on a front of a F-350 4x4,, I think it will get any serious job done

That's optional on a Ford, Comes standard on GM & Mopar.

wen we build hardcore trail rigs at work we put the d-ring like that in the pic we get ours off your smaller dozers bc they have 1/2 in mounting plates and when we build bumpers for these rigs we use 1/2 plate steal. ifyou weld them right they'll hold i havnt seen one bend the ring yet and i've seen these guys yank the hell out of them rings when they get stuck

i was gonna ask if it was on the wrong end. usually when i see a Ford pulling someone out they are facing away from them.

My neighbor, the one with the Studebakers, said it was an attachment point for a push rope.
