    have fun a few warnings

    remove part of the cladding to get the 4 bolts you need to remove the tow hooks. (3 on one side one on the other) Use a breaker bar to get more torque the tow hook bolts really stick, You will only need to re-use 2 of the tow hook bolts so test them in the holes and find which screw in the best, Let me know how you thread in the 4 bolts from curt I can not figure how to access the frame.

    No need to remove cladding ~ frame is open at end ~ use wire to pull bolts through holes ~ just run wire through hole and out frame, attach bolt to wire (duct tape!), pull back through hole. They give you carriage bolts if I recall so don't need an impact wrench ~ hand crank will do ~ no probs with spinning. Loctite is your friend. Took me about 45 minutes ~ 15 minutes of removing brackets, fishing, torquing bolts ~ and 30 minutes to drill four holes! Hope you have a sharp drill bit ~ that frame is stout!
