But remember, you will also need to either fabricate a bracket, or be
prepared for some substantial cosmetic modifications to your front end
to make them work... My theory, if you need front tow hooks, you should
go buy a rubicon...heh... [this being said by the guy that spent 6
weeks tracking down a gen3 tow hook kit and then with the help of a few
of my friends spent most of a day bolting and fabricating to make it all
work...
