yesterday i was walking into sports authority and saw this sport X. on the back there what a loop that was bolted to the frame. is that factory or aftermarket. i think that is perfect tow point and it came out under the bumper. looks pretty heavy duty as well.

anyone have these or know where i can get them. going to look at a shop here in town and see what they have.

My '97 had it standard as part of the Premium Sport Package. It is now in my attic since it looked out of place with my body lift.

I have one that I had to remove when I installed my hitch. If Robert doesn't want to sell his, email me and I'll sell mine.

Sorry, you'd be better off buying one from one of the people above. By the time I found mine in my attic I would have to charge much more than it's worth. It should fit any '95 and up Explorer. It consists of a loop with two brackets. The brackets bolt on using the bolts from the rear bumper bracket.
