ADD Venom R - Install Tow Hooks or Not?

[Ro_Ja Boy]

I have a set of Venom R bumpers coming in and am back and forth on whether to install the OEM tow hooks in the front with it. I’ve seen pictures of both and without seems cleaner than with. Any reason why I should or shouldn’t one way or another or any opinions in general? Thanks in advance!

Will you ever take your raptor off-road? Or live in an area that gets alot of snow?

Probably not for either.

It’s always nice to have a recovery point you can yank on. Also might need to pull someone out.... let’s see the pics of with/without

With and without

I say keep them.

Keep them. Always good to have it, not need it then needed it and not have it. Just my opinion.

Waste of that truck living in Nevada. Leave them off, you don’t need them and what better way to show it off.

Reminds me of the s2000 forums when people used to say that they were wasting their cars if they didn’t track them. I did track, but always made me laugh that people worried about what everyone else did with their car.

I’ll likely use it in snow and dirt, but rarely (when taking my neighbors CanAm out or going to Brianhead cabin), but not enough that I’m worried about the tow hooks becoming necessary.

Ro_ja, the bumper looks cleaner without tow hooks. I would keep them off.
