Default Bumper Trim with New Tow Hooks

I add tow hooks to my '08 Big Horn QC last weekend. I haven't seen anyone who cut the plastic bumper trim like I ended up. What a pain in the a$$.

Measure, drummel, measure, dummel.

You have a little man with a camera on your grill.

The hooks are facing the wrong way, and should be further apart.

Much better gearing in reverse for pulling someone out.

looks awesome. I added tow hooks to my 04 recently, and the paint on my sport bumper is messed up from that thing being on there for 5 years so i thought about doing that to cover the blemishes...i like it.

I just bought the MOPAR tow hooks. They come as an assembly (like a bar). Still setting up my garage, so my compressor is not functional yet. Don't know if I won't get the dealer to install the part. Service Manual says bumber has to be removed. As for the comment by ramhunter1, may I add that the logging roads on the private properties I drive are so narrow that you'd better have something safe to grab on to, both front and rear.

Good job cutting the trim. I like the look with the trim still there.
