OK, first off why are you hooking a tow starp to the front of your RZR?? Are you using it to pull stuck Rhino's so you can watch them better and take video at the same time??

J/K'ing. There was a post not too long ago, someone had done something like you want to do, and he had pictures too...

im new at this.. now keeping the shackle in the glove box.
rubber stopper $3 or $4 at Ace.
storing a tow strap back in the lock and ride.

note: just rode in 5 states and assisted about that many other RZRs.
everyone had straps and bumpers.
my shackle never saw daylight.

That is correct, that is the place to hook a winch or a strap to in stock form. Problem is when you add a bumper that usually gets covered and is out of reach. IMO The best thing is to have someone weld a hook or bolt a hook or loop to the aftermarket bumper.

I guess that depends on which bumper you install. Here's mine - I have the Pure Polaris bumper. As you can see the tow point is readily accessible through my bumper.





I'd much rather tow from a lower point in the center of the vehicle than from a bumper bolted to the machine.

If you mud a lot, attach an extension to the tow point and bring it up to where you can grab it when you are in the deep stuff. Makes hooking up a snap.

agreed here - all of mine were fairly "low force" pulls so was lazy and used the bumper.

one exception, mounting high -to the top cage crossbar - just did the escalator in Moab. the people who may assist you are up to 15' over your head.

have it on video, anybody got the stomach?

OH Yeah! Post it up!

Of course when you are crawling up stuff like that you strap to the best spot possible for leverage. In fact, it's usually wise to have a strap pre attached up high on the cage "just in case"....things happen awful fast out there! :scared2:

agreed again - watched every Moab Esacalator video 2 or 3 times knowing i was headed there and would try it and BETTER REMEMBER to have a mount up high before strapping in and approaching the base.
basically i forgot.

mr. rzrs900cc - made that out of scrap brushed aluminum, old fashioned way with sharpie markers, strip sanders, etc. hold it up there 20 times, you know.
Warn decal is fake, i own a sign shop and their logo was an a package of licensed logos.

Looks super nice I'm going to have to try that. I have 1/4" aluminum that I made my own lift with and parking brake for the rzr so I was allready thinking of copying you...lol!
only hard part is the dual radius or "spherical shape" it ends up, if you want it on there seated just right. that part cannot be flat. i beat it with my fist off the edge of a bench.
there are stainless flat washers behind the stainless 10-24 screws.

call it 2 hour, 2 beer.
