Could someone show a picture of how to connect a tow bar to a CUCV?

This setup worked for my M1009 recovery from KY to TN...Could someone show a picture of how to connect a tow bar to a CUCV?
Thanks much!
Great input pctrans.MikeV: Only a couple things that I would do next time.....
1) Get the correct pin behind the pintle ring
2) Use TWO chains. A single chain allows too much sway travel should your towbar fail at some point.
3) And always zip-tie the link behind the hook, so it can't bounce off the chain.
4) I would flip the feet over on the towed vehicle end. If you go through a big dip, they can bind on the square tube.

For others.....No TM was in the box, so I "winged it" regarding foot orientation - now I have a TM,
Hmmm, looks like I did have the feet oriented right, but what pctrans said about dips and binding made sense too.For others.
