Build your own Tow Hooks

[BubbaEinstein]

**These are NOT for sale or trade - just make your own..it's easy!!**

Cut a cotter pin as shown and grind it so it resembles a tow hook

Decide where you want to mount them, drill your holes and mount them up

Here's how it looks installed

I'm going more for scale than crawling but after some trail running in some rocky terrain (ok, landscape bricks) they really don't get hung up and actually slide across the rocks better than the plastic bumper

Bubba's hooks and shackles are AWESOME!
Very scale looking

I had no idea cotter pins were so tough. I must have been thinking about the aluminum ones I guess.
Great weekend project, but I will bet its a good idea to buy a new pack
of HD dremel grinding disks when you pick up the pins....
