I finally recieved my Level II tow hooks for the Ranger. I bought these off of a guy for $65, not bad! They were a little dirty when i got them, but nothing a little degreaser and a rag didnt take care of. Then I took out the metal polish and went to town!

(this was before metal polish)
what do ya think!

actually Shane, they aren't shiny, they're still a flat finish
UPDATE:
Got up early this morning and headed to the shop and got a start on the tow hooks. I got the driver side put on last night and got so aggravated that i gave up on the passenger side. The passenger side is no joke, no room to work and stupid header panel was in the way. i got all but one bolt off and it was STUCK! When I took and impact gun to it and it didn't budge, i knew i was in trouble! i pb blasted it and even tried long breaker bar with no luck. Finally got mad at it and took a stubby wrench and a dead blow hammer and got the job done. You know after i broke it loose, it was still so tight and hung that the impact wrench and breaker bar still didn't touch it! I had to hammer it until is was almost all the way out. Call me wimp or whatever, but it was seriously held tight! Anyways on to the pics! Look past dirty truck, its been raining all week.

Notice how I used the bunny ears? Would "brite/bright" been a better word to use?? They're still 'shiny' compared to standard hooks. Anyone who's not seen them up close would call them chrome...
I'm well aware how they look possessing 3 sets of the faux-"stainless" hooks at the moment. |
