Tow Points

So I was looking over the handful of pictures that I have on my computer of the FJ and I noticed something. Or I suppose more to the point, I didn't notice something. Does the FJ have any tow points on the front or the rear? I am planning on getting in over my head really early on (less than 1 month) and may very well get to the point that I will need a tug to get unstuck. I can't seem to see anywhere to hook a winch cable, or tow strap to. Am I blind?

This may have already been covered, but if it has, I couldn't find it.

Re: Tow Points

There are two very heavy duty looking tow eyes set into the front. I didn't think to look for them in the back.

Re: Tow Points

Thanks all. I am sure I will have a post about how strong they are by late April.

Re: Tow Points

It's being used but the angle doesn't show it, unless they are just using the tow hitch....

Re: Tow Points

In that pic it dosen't appear that the lights on the back of the mirror are on but the headlights are. I wonder if you can control those lights somehow (short of taking the bulbs/LEDs out)?

his lights are probably off and the gaytime running lights are the reason the main lights are on.
