I have the kit now. It looks great, but I'm going to wait and see the video. The main concerns I have right now are, making sure I have sharp drill bits of the correct size. And 2, the photocopied template for the cutting of the hole in my front bumper isn't copied properly. It looks like it was cut off in the copier and now I'm supposed to put that on my bumper as a guide to drill a large hole? No. I'll wait for the video...

Thanks John.

Finished my install of Tow Hook yesterday. Great product. Pretty easy install. Found a video in the DIY section on this forum on how to remove rear bumper check it out. Very easy.
Nice clean install.
Hope I never have to use it but if I do it will save my front or rear fascia.

Thanks Skylane765!

No, the front template is not cut off, it can be used by placing in the corner of the grill.

Yes, the rear receiver will fit the front and you will not have to drill, but you will have to remove the front facia. Same on SS, the rear receiver will fit the front.

Not only that, even on the street if you need a tow on a flat bed it is easier to wench up with the splitter being to low.

So I already posted I installed the front and rear tow hooks but I just realized something else great about this product. There is a smooth section of the hook that is perfect for a GoPro handle bar mount.

I just got a GoPro so I was looking for an easy way to mount.

At $10 for the handle bar mount I plan to install one on each hook and just leave them. They don't interfere with the tow hook function either.

Yes we do make a GoPro mount that fits the receivers. And what you have also works.
