Okay so was at the shop cutting the tow rings...
And it is not happening. Is there a certain blade I should put on? Or a different tool? As pictured above this post, I need to cut the tow ring sides off. I thas to be flush to the edge, and super clean as the cut sides will be exposed.

I tried to cust through this dense piece with the metal saw- and after about a minute of cutting- This is how far I made it:

Im going to talk to a machine shop to see if they can cut them clean and square for me. It looks like I'll just order some square steel stock and setup the main bracket to the bumper very much like a hitch and receiver. It won't be used for towing, but I checked and found a winch that I can squeeze in behind the bumper in between the radiator bracket and frame rails. Going to measure today.

Then the bulk of the design will be left with a mandrell bender and lots of welding.
I'll keep you posted.

I just got the front end winch hook back from the chrome shop. And they did an amazing job. This hook was ordered from a crane rigging company overseas to match the look I wanted, then it was chemically stripped, sand blasted, and ground smooth from stamped ratings and logos, and finally chrome plated. 25 for the hook, 75 for the chrome. Couldn't be happier!
