Mike,
There's only one on the front. I have pulled mine out of stuck spot by
making a loop around one of the frame rails on the other side to balance the
load and then made a "Y" with the tow rope (I have a 12,000lb tow rope with
hooks at each end, and several heavy ropes for looping around the frame - 1"
diameter. I've thought about mounting a tow hook on both frame rails up
front, but haven't tried it yet - I do try to avoid getting stuck... really.
:-)
