I bought a Blue Ox 10,000 lb. rated tow bar on ebay so I can pull the Scout without having to trailer it. Blue Ox also sells univeral mounting brackets which my friend Scott simply welded to the bumper of the Scout. This enabled us to avoid the time-consuming and expensive typical custom bumper installation required when using the Blue Ox tow bar system. Anyway, Blue Ox does not sell a custom bumper kit for the 1976 Scout so utilizing the universal mouting bracket was the only practical solution.
