A few simple questions

[BlingNGasoline]

1. Is there something missing above my fog light?

2. Can winter wiper blades be used durring the summer? (mine are hopping
along the windshield rather than wiping)

3. Can i drill into my hitch to install tow hooks with out causing strength
problems?

4. Would anyone want my old tires? (free)

you trailer hitch can be used as a tow point, no need to drill into it...a tow strap can be put into the reciever and the pin put into place and works great as a tow point....or you can get a d-ring that that goes into the trailer hitch that works even better.

nothing is missing above the foglights, thats the way they are....

winter blades can be used in the summer...

dont drill into the hitch, the strap in the hole with a pin will owrk, but it isnt the best idea, as that pin can bend inside and you wont be able to remove it..... however you can get one of these, and be all set....

On the tire issue, try to post those in the For Sale thread. You'd probably get more responses -- I'm sure someone would like 'em

You might have to bend the wiper arms towards the glass for a good fit.

If the blades are "hopping" they are worn out. Time to replace them.

1) Nope.
2) Yup, but yours are worn out. Look for a silicone replacement like Silblades. I've had mine on for almost 4 years (and I'm picky about my wipers wiping cleanly)
3) I'm with the majority. Don't drill, buy a tow point to put in there. Slipping the strap in and putting the pin through is a bad idea because it applies a bending moment to the pin which is the weakest way you can load it. Those hitch pins are designed to be loaded in purely shear. They are brittle in bending and don't like to be loaded that way.
4) Thanks, but no thanks. (Nothing personal, but I've never had a tire I DISliked more. Some people swear by 'em, but I hated them)
