Hey Steve;
Do you think that monstrosity of a tow hook bracket will fit with the
painted Grill Guard? I sort of doubt it, but have to ask.
BTW, the Grill Guard has two thick metal plates that bolt to the frame,
utilizing the bumper bolts, these plates are bent in, which locates the
outside frames of the Grill Guard almost inline with the frame.

I just got back from the parts department. I could not remember who
wanted to know about the tow hooks. (I think it was Rob or John)
Anyhow, I am surprised, the reason the tow hooks are $160.00 is that
it comes with a "bracket" that looks almost like a frame hitch mount.
It is big and heavy...It is a nice piece of work to install it though.
The directions are long, and you do not have to cut the lower airdam
to install them. The hooks come out below the airdam, and bolt to the
bracket. In order to install the bracket, you have to remove the front
bumper to get to where the bracket bolts to the frame. The entire unit
looks very strong, and could probably pull a small house off it's
foundations. I will have to wait until this weekend or next to install
it, as I'll have to go up to my dad's to use his tools. I post on how
it went.
Steve
