Is that an acceptable tow point for the sleds??? I sure thought that I would need something with more beef... If so, great I probably have one of those in the garage or in my jeep....
Thanks

Check out my latest pics..
I think for certain that clevis will hold.. It has the screw top on it, and it has been tightened very well with a pipe wrench. It has survived one tree stump yank already.. no issues... Acceptable for a sled? yes it is, as long as it isnt over the 26" max ride height..

One thing I'll add is you want to add some gussets to the hitch. I put 2 hooks on a setup identical to that, but it bent that thick piece of steel down about an inch. I welded a gusset into it on both sides and also sleeved the tube, now it's plenty sturdy
I'll try to put a pic in my gallery soon...

The screw type are better. If and yes i know its a big if, IF the Gold pin ever bent it would slip out. The little hitch pin is not as secure as the screw in type. Least thats for offroad recovery. I should think safety is safety though.

That always hurts to watch footage like that. Oh well, that's why it's called racin'! Get a good clutch in there and you should be golden! Is that your significant other sighing in the background noise?
