Default Towing with frame rails

These frame rails cover the tow holes. So if you tow using J-hooks these frame rails will not work.

Maybe the will design some with the holes for the people who tow their cars.

I like mine too. Fit nicely. One little issue is if one had to remove the plastic wheel well cover from either front tire area, you would have to remove the frame rails to get to that one screw which holds it on under the car. As a result, I didn't use loc-tite either.

Thanks for the tip on the rails as I just finished ordering both the rails and the wheels after reading this thread. I have damage already and luckly for me repairing it is a trade for some I.T. work but I want to prevent it from happening again and after reading all the praise from this thread and a couple of others I figured I'd go with the best.

P.S. anyone ever try out the SS thermal -Abs they have?

I have the non thermal abs from them which helps some w/ the heat, and makes the car much more solid/rigid and I think better handling.
