    Any suggestions on how to mount a couple D-rings or tow hooks on the back of M416?

    Also, any reason (if mounted correctly) I couldn't pull my whole rig backwards if necessary by the D-rings / tow hooks on the back of the trailer while it's still attached or pull someone out from the trailer D-rings? I'm sure they would need to be mounted VERY solid. Any ideas?
    I don't want to dis-connect the trailer and try and move it out of the way on a tight trail.

    Thanks!

    I fabricated this assembly to add a 2" receiver tube to the rear of my Bantam. More versatile than D-rings as I can use a shackle for recovery or mount a bike rack, etc.

    The assembly bolts to the frame and crossmembers, with triangulated braces for strength and to prevent a pull from twisting the frame.

    That's a great idea and good point about using the receiver for other things. Do you happen to have pics unistalled that I could use as a guide to make one?

    I've a similar setup on my trailer - just welded in since the frame is not original and much heavier. It comes in handy for bike racks, etc.
