prius pushers?
I put a Tremor valance on my 24 F250 (OK, I had my wife do it) I took off the 2 weird brackets. Lying in bed last night I was thinking 'those are really heavy bolts for those thin pieces of metal' do I need to put the bolts back in? What do those bolts actually do? I didn't want to climb under there this morning as I am dressed for work...

The only time my wife would be under a truck, car, anything, is if she was ran over. Good woman there!

What ARE Prius Pushers, does anyone have a picture of them for someone who hasn't taken off the bumper or valence?

It seems the Tremor does have the bolts. I was watching a winch install video and the bolts are there.

I have the factory winch installed and the bolts are used. The Prius catchers are sandwiched in between winch bracket. I just cut the Prius catcher off with a reciprocating saw in a few moments.

Took mine off also. If I hit one I don't want it stuck under my bumper.
