That is a nice place to carry it too ! I installed mine on my front bumper since it is too difficult for me to lift it into the bed anymore. I didn't want to add anymore weight up front, but I didn't have many options left to me.

The nice thing about carrying it there is that it does not interfere with, lets say, getting a load of gravel. As for removing and putting it back, you can easily slide the extensions out on the deck and move the pipes individually. That is how I put it back up there. No need to strain your back.That is a nice place to carry it too ! I installed mine on my front bumper since it is too difficult for me to lift it into the bed anymore.

If you have it you won't need it!![]()
DITTO !I'd love to see any pictures of that front mount system.
G'day everyone,....

Did you consider under the bed at the front in the cavity where I thing you can store the bows,...?
Did yours have a winch?
Aussie.
HAHAHA!
BUT, Murphy's Law would declare: If you own a Tow Bar and aren't carrying it, YOU WILL NEED IT !
DITTO !
I think that many of us would love to see pictures (and details) of your Front Mount Tow Bar Stowage.
For that matter, I'd love to see ANY options that folks have designed and built for the Stowage of the Medium Tow Bar on a Deuce or 5-Ton Truck.
Thank y'all in advance.
Just curious:Got a few more the wheels stripped down & painted, still got to clean up the overspray though.

Yes sir, Aircraft paint remover from Advance Auto Parts. I had to let it sit for at least an hour, cleaned it off & then applied it again. Now I did have 30 plus years of paint on my wheels, but it works great.Just curious:
- How are you stripping the overspray, solvent?
And thank you too, Elijah95. I like the bed-side stowage option too. It would leave the bed accessible for the full spectrum of cargo.
I managed to squeeze it down right trails with minimal issues, and it is great height wise to detach and hook up in less than 5 minutes in 2 piecesThanks for posting that up, RustyStud, and for the follow up conversation.
I've considered many options for toting the Medium Tow Bar around with me. Yours is certainly a novel approach worthy of consideration.

Now y'all have really got me thinking!
If anything where able to bend that tow-bar the way it is, then having a bent tow-bar would be the least of my worries !G'day everyone,....
Thanks Rusty,... I just read that thread then came here,....
LOL.
Not a bad set-up but I can't help but think of what if you sink the front end into soft ground?
Will the combined weight and any momentum bend the tow bar?
Sorry but my mind at times works in mysterious ways,...
Aussie.
I had originally thought to put mine on the side like you did, but after trying to put the pieces up there to check it out I decided against it. I could barely lift them in place ! I'm only getting older, so I needed another option.I managed to squeeze it down right trails with minimal issues, and it is great height wise to detach and hook up in less than 5 minutes in 2 pieces
