Front tow hook

I got a couple of tow hooks for christmas and cannot decide where to mount them. I checked out a couple of other threads on mounting them but I don't really want to chop into body mounts like christover did. I looked how the front bar is mounted, a bracket bolted to the foremost part of the chassis. I drew up a little pic to show how I was thinking of mounting it, I am not sure if this will be strong enough though. Hence the thread.
Bolt one will go through the original bar bracket. With bolt two it by a bit of ass the bolt will be able to go through the peice of steel. It is a bit between the top and bottom bars of the tube bar for a bit of strength. If I do it like this it was be easy to access and won't take much to do.


Any thoughts or ideas on strength etc are appreciated.

Since this photo the bullbar has been lifted 2-3" so it just in that spot in the chasiss, a triangle has been cut out of it so it fits around the body mount tube bit so thats not weakened, also an idea is to have a tube sleave in the middle so u don't crush your chassis ends like me, i would do that if i was to put them on again.
