Tow Hook Extenders
I recently received my tow hook extenders that a friend made for me, and I love the heck out of them. They make it to where you do not have to beat your bumper to death trying to get a chain hooked up, and they also serve as a step for when you are under the hood. (why didn't DC think of this?)
Anyways, I liked them, so I thought I'd show them off...

I like the extenders! I don't even have tow hooks. Will I have mounting hardware or is that part of the tow hook package? How hard would it be to make my own? WOuld it be worth the trouble?

Its a sweet idea! It looks like it is just a piece of I-beam cut to size and drilled for mounting. Is there anything else I missed madhat?

This will help alot when trying to hook up when the front is under snow.

You'll have to be a little more careful parking up to those caddy's unless your buddy fabs some tow hook covers that have a little bounce in them. ks

That's another reason I like the Xtenders - they make pretty good "curb feelers" for the front end!
