Those are for the tow bar, we flat towed that big bitch home. Skeeetchy AF. There was more weight on the front of the c30 than there was on the rear of my buddies mega cab cummins. Talk about the tail wagging the dog! Lol

I love the mirrors. Let me know if they are departing the scene.

Sweet truck by the way. I like that grille.

Seriously, I am interested.
