Bolt missing from chassis rail

Post by jonnyni »

i noticed this the other day when putting my bumper irons on, just behind the back wheel. It seems further up the chassis rail compared to where the irons attach to the chassis What is it for? Towbar maybe.

your van did have a towbar

towbars use this bolt as well as the 2 bumper hanger ones i presume to spread the load down the chassis

some very poor aftermarket towbars dont use this but this is not as designed
