    These are the best picts I have of the tow hooks (unfortunately I do not have any picts of the how hooks next to the sway bar):

    edit: I think that the Super Red II and Barcelona Red Metallic are really close in color. The Super Red II is not metallic.

    Nice! I’m getting ready to test out my powder coater. Hopefully I have the right shade of red.

    I think that powder coat will hold up better. The paint looks good but I expect to need to touch these up the first time that the hooks are used. ;)

    Yeah, I think it should be more durable. The only concern is the color matching.

    I'm mainly using it to prevent chips and such on that front part of the hood. There are no deflectors on it or anything so it's not really meant for the windshield.

    Sorry man, missed this, thread goes so fast it stops emailing updates, although I think quotes should always be notified.

    Ya, KT’s right, it’s a Thule gutter pack and 78” square bars.

    https://www.thule.com/en-ca/ca/roof-rack/roof-bars/thule-squarebar-78-_-4852

    If you want to know which height gutters I have, I’ll measure them when I get home, I bought them used, not sure. Very fast/easy to use. When you lock the round knobs, they spin and won’t tighten/loosen to deter theft.

    I got the idea looking at non-drill options for DiamondBacks.

    Hey Josh, tnx. Yeah I looked into it. My only concern it says for 165lbs. I don't know how mounting a rtt would work? If it would be 165x4 since there's four of them? I'm guessing not? If it was 165x4 it would work but I'm guessing I'm not that lucky and gonna have to look into other options. The more I look into the more does an offroad trailer make sense to me.

    I don’t think it’ll work for RTT, 3 or 4 bikes ya, and that’s because the racks act as cross members too. Max 165lbs is kinda low. It be a lot of stress on the DB cleats too.
