The jimny towbars are different where they bolt up to the sierras. I asked for a hayman type to fit a sierra at a towbar shop and all they have is the flat tounge type. You could make some brackets up. Bondall auto recyclers has a hayman type to fit jimny for 130.

Why not remove the tow-ball and stick a good rated D shackle through the tongue? Some would think its not the most ideal setup but it works well!

a large shackel fits around the skinny part of the towball. Once the bolt is through it cant lift over the round ball.

Dont do that. Tow balls don't work well as recovery points. They tend to shear off and hit people in the back of the head. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you are talking about.
