    I saw a dude today with a small mural on his truck something like this:

    You could go full blown, with a naked chick on the hood, maybe have 2 different murals covering the whole side each a different painting?

    All I gotta say. Must be nice never getting stuck and needing a pull. Having no holes in the bumpers for the tow hooks. LOL

    Nice lookers though. That mural looks cool too.

    The tow hook is behind the tag and these tractor are probably not heavy enough to pull a semi out they can only weigh 2k with me sitting in them in full gear and the 2wd truck doesn't go out very much

    Probably about 2k for the truck the whole rig along with pulling old wrap off is right at 10k to do truck and trailer

    You only get 4 or 5 years out of a good wrap and you will want a body in good shape but if you keep it out of the sun and weather your wrap will last longer

    I'm talking about the standard semi.

    If you look at the bumpers. There's no holes in them. And that's where the tow hooks go. In the frame through the bumpers.

    If you look at standard bumpers on any truck. You'll see a hole on both left and right sides.

    That's one thing i made sure is there in my shopping for a truck. I was worried some trucks might not have them but looks like they all do.

    I have never paid any attention if they do or not but I make sure all mine have a hook and every 379 I have own the hook is in the middle of the bumper behind the tag
