Default Tow Hooks and Battery Relocation

What are you guys using for tow hooks and how do you have it mounted? I think I can use the crash bar up front and mount a hook onto it. Stock ones are useless because of my fmic. Also how are you guys mounting the rear ones? Simple welding?

Secondly, what are you guys using for battery relocation including battery box and tie down?

Thanks
Jeremy

So long as you don't actually plan on using them the way they are intended to be used, you could mount it to the crash bar... the crash bar is pretty thin aluminum and is only strong because it is boxed construction...
