We designed these tow hook extenders to avoid scratching the paint...



Caution: these are a major PITA do install by yourself, unless you're a chimpanzee or octupus!

Oh yeah - this is the male socket for the block heater:

There is another guy on here who did that same thing... Is it mounted on the plastic strip that goes along the bottom of the front bumper? If so, I would for sure rip it off somehow. i.e.mesquite tree, ruts, small game animals...

We fabricated a profile that fit the bumper slot exactly (very little clearance in there!)

Thanks, Mike! I use my block heater whenever it's under 40*F, since I like the cab to warm up faster (I'm gettin' soft in my old age )

Good observation - that's exactly what they mostly get used for: steps!

The instructions would definitely say "2 persons recommended!"

Mike,

As you know I have seen them and I am very impressed. Very nice fabrication! I think they also are good for adding some extra protection to the front end, bumper, grill etc. in the event of a collision, by sticking out that much further. Good job!

How much????

Guess you'd have to remove the bumper to make it easy. I just don't understand the engineers of today!
