Here you go:

See the bar under the winch cover? That's where you attach a tow strap.

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:
