I bought the Ready Brute Elite today (eBay) and figured I was going to use
the Maximus-3 tow hooks. But they're $225 and then another $195 for the adapter lugs. Additionally, there seems to be some concern that the adapter lugs (which are advertised as Blue Ox adapters) wouldn't work with the Ready Brute Elite.
So buying them just to find out they weren't going to work, was something I would rather avoid if possible. And like you said, the
tow point brackets made by Rock Hard, are less than $80 bucks and a whole lot easier to install.
But my Jeep is a Rubicon Hard Rock edition and the bumper is quite a bit different than yours, so it's questionable as to whether I have enough room to bolt them on. As such, I've been in a "creative adaption stage" most of the day...
It would be great if I could put them just to the left and right of the winch, but there is only 23" to work with and I'm afraid that wouldn't be enough.
