On the front you can bolt them to the ends of the chassis rails: something I have done one one... upside down, two bolts through and used the bullbar mounts as bracing... If you are going to mount them without bullbars or similar it may pay to make a brace from 40 or 50mm wide 6mm angle iron or similar to go inside the chassis rail to brace the hook... then bolt it to the side as well as the two bottom ones... seen Safaris twist up the chassis rails at the ends from stress...
In the rear, get a Nato hook (pintle hook) and bolt it with 4 good quality new bolts to the factory position... and don't use it too vigourously... or make something like a rear bar that mounts to the chassis rails either side and has heavy plates for hook mounts at the end of each rail...
