Those safari bars aren't for anything but looks. No way I would mount tow hooks to them.
 






don't put hooks on it. we tried to tow someone out with wrapping the tow strap around the bar, and it bent the bar to hell.

yeah i would NEVER put a strap on that thing, i mean Jonny5 just look at the way your other bar crumpled when you got in your wreck.
 






Haha, yeah that thing got pretty crushed. But I wasn't thinking of mounting the hooks ON the bar. Maybe some other mounting location. I might take off my airdam and have the machine shop at my school make shorter brackets so I have a better approach angle.
