It’s been a minute since I last posted here, but work continues! I recently installed the Pierce Motorsports tow hook kit, but made a bit of a change to the design.
As you who have installed this kit know, you have to *somehow* get a pair of bolts and washers inside the crash bar to hold the bracket in place. Instead of doing that (and hating life) I used a rivnut tool we have been using on the Lemons project. It worked perfectly and from my research is as strong (if not stronger) than the original washer and nut setup Pierce includes with the kit.

While I was in there, I also replaced the center bumper support as it was broken. The bumper no longer sags as much! The original piece is held in there with hot glue so after the tedious process of peeling it off I got some new hot glue (the industrial heavy duty stuff) and glued on the new bracket.

EDIT: apparently mobile safari doesn't like to embed images properly. I'll fix it tonight when I'm home from work.
