Curious if anyone has put tow hooks or a Go Rhino 3000 Series grille guard on a Sport '12 and what is everyone using for tonneau covers and pros/cons.

They have a bunch of tow hooks that you fasten to the frame, IMO that is the way to go.

Looks like that hook is fastened to a sway bar mount. That is definitely not the way to go.

Factory tow hooks fit no problem unless you have a body lift, they require cutting or removing the insert in the cutout in the bumper

I just installed an access vanish cover and I think it is pretty good for the price. In hindsight I wish I would have got one that is spring loaded to auto adjust tension as the cover expands and shrinks with temp. I know the tuxedo ones have this but are almost $200 more than whatiI paid.

I caught a great deal on an Access Lorado cover on AutoAnything back in June. Worth the money. Had one on my 2006 Ranger and it held up well. Best part, good for life. Proof? I got the cover replaced by Access just before I gave the truck to my brother-in-law and they only charged me for the shipping! Access customer for life.
