Icon14 Tow hooks installed

Well it was more of an event then I thought it was going to be lol. Ended up having to make a trip to wal mart in the middle because the cordless drills couldn't handle the job so I bought one corded drill. Got it all done and it only took about 2 hours with the trip. Got some pics of course so here you go.

Looks good, I put the same hooks on my truck.

Just a suggestion, in a case of getting pulled from the front, do your best to pull evenly from both. What they're mounted to isn't all that strong...at all, as a recovery point. I have one thats beat back in, still about 1/2" out further than the other!

I hopefully wont get pulled out. It's just there just in case, but thanks for the info. I figured it probably wasn't that strong. Also It's been raining for over a week solid so the truck hasn't really been washed in a while. I just hosed it off real quick for the night time pics.

I would love the snow. It's been raining non stop for a week and a half. We have had a good bit of flooding. I am ready for the rain to go!

Got a black and decker from walmart for 30 bucks. Plenty powerful enough to drill the wholes.
