Default Step platforms and tow bar

Spent some time over the past two weekends installing some step platforms on the front bumper, and installed the tow bar on the bumper too. As heavy as the tow bar is, I can't imagine tryign to move a heavy tow bar.

You might consider drilling those threaded rods for a padlock, considering what some folks are paying for towbars these days.

Nice job, I just wonder about the extra weight hanging off the front end.

Yea, that extra 150# on a 13,000# truck just throws the balance all off...
