*cough* my idea of how to do it dave *cough*

we didnt use any washers? just bought a fkn long ass bolt + nut.. drilled thru the intrusion bar once and hooked it up. we bolted it to the bottom of the intrusion bar. it was an aesthetic thing really.. didnt try towing the car.. prolly need more bolts to do that.. like 4 in total? but whats the chances of ripping off ur intrusion bar from towing the car?

you'd regret taking shortcuts later down the track.

the hook has been taken off already.. too much of a safety hazard? take ppls legs off with that shit
