    LMAO. I am pretty sure my insurance would go up, if I ran around smacking cars too. Tow hooks or not. lol

    I am going to have to keep an eye out for some Megas running around with their tow hooks hanging out.

    Than kindly relieve them of them and the liability that comes with them since my old 97 International was missing them when I bought it.

    I still have mine for my 97 int, but I keep them in the side box. They are actually kind of cheesy compared to the ones on my KW's
    My T800 didn't have any when I bought it, I lucked out and when on a job in wells Nevada stopped at a garage sale that had some tools, over against the wall was a set of them. I ask the guy if they were for sale, and he said he hadn't figured anyone would want them but would take 5 bucks. I had been trying to pick some up on ebay, I about broke my arm getting into my pocket. lol

    The tow hooks make my white Volvo look really manly. I’m leaving them in.

    I do not recall if it was 5 bucks each or piece, but it really didn't matter. He could have just as easily said 50 bucks.

    On my log truck, it is removable (freight shaker. I wish my kW's had the center pulls, much better on the frame.
