Front tow hok question

You know the steel tow loop things on the front bumper? I noticed that there are three threaded bolts per loop. Mine doesn't have any nuts tightening down the unit. Is this normal or am I missing 6 nuts?

Can't help myself: If you're missing six nuts, you've got bigger problems!

They are bolted through to a plate which acts as a nut. So, no, you didn't drop 6 nuts LOL

As mhoefer said ..... nothing wrong. Nuts are not needed.

Ok so I'm not missing anything. Just looked strange that there are threaded bolts but nothing on them.
