Default Brush Guard Question

I was reading around and i guess when you install a brush/bull guard you need to remove the tow hooks?

Also, are there any brush/bull guards that have tow hooks already installed? Or is the bull guard strong enough to be towed by?

EDIT: Leaning more toward a bull guard

You need to go with a Frontier Grille Guard if you are looking for real front end protection and the best part is you get to keep your Tow hooks and you don't get blinded from your head lights reflecting on the grille!! This thing is beyond stout and adds a serious attitude to the front of your truck. Not to mention the black mesh in front still allows you to see your grille but at the same time it keep 95% of the bugs from even getting into the factory grille or radiator !!! I paid about $625.00 for mine installed and it mounts to the factory frame where there already bolt holes not being used. Excellent design and awesome finish. Oh hope you like Black because that is the only option they have
