The bolts that hold the bumper to the frame are quite small for towing by the bumper... What I do is to weld the bumper to the frame and put a spot weld on each bolt to hold em in place.
Then I drill the bumper and install the pieces that allow the tow bar to be attached. Everyone sells the same tow bar for this purpose. You can get it at many of the hitch places around here.
Make sure the transfer case is in neutral and the KEY is turned to the RUN position so the front wheels will turn.
