Quick Help re: tow hook removal

[RyanD]

Hey guys,

Got the bumper off and and tow hooks removed in anticipation for my 40" light bar install. Quick question, I wasn't planning on utilizing a mount that provided new "front" holes and didn't realize the mount plate on the tow hooks was welded on (my '13). Am I out of luck or can I use the 4 side mounts safely?

I would hate to have to reassemble it all, just to have to disassemble it again!

figured it out...Tow hooks have to be cut off. Yikes, not sure I have a powerful enough saw.

Good news is it went back on much easier than coming off.

Yes you have to cut them off...only way.
