Default My New Tow Hooks

Being too cheap to spend $200 on tow hooks, I just made my own and I think they came out fine. Besides being cheaper, they are stronger and don't require removing the bumper to install the front hooks. Instead of relying on bolts to tow against, these hooks wrap around the frame which takes the tow load and the bolts are secondary. Total cost of $21 for the set and a few rivetnuts.
