Recievers for front hooks!!

[bmrrwolfe]

I found these looking for a set to make my front tow hooks out of and seem to be the best price around!! Although they only have the 2"x2" but for $8.66 might be worth trying, and they ship to stores for free!!

The only problem with the cheaper ones is they only have 3/4" drop/rise. If you want it to come right out were the stock front hook cutouts on bumper cover are, I think you need the 2" drop ones. I maybe wrong, someone else can correct me . If you don't care to cut up the cover, go for it.

They do have the 2" drop/rise they are the $8.66 ones!
They are the 4th ones down
But i got a major crack in the corner of my bumper and some cuts for the brush guard already so im alright with some holes in the bumper!
I ordered a pair of them and am going to get them to fit while keeping my brush guard on somehow...

Do you have access to a welder? If so just weld the suckers on.

I do have a small MIG that im just learning how to use and am running it gasless right now.... not very pretty welds.
But i was thinking of doing the two bolts and welding it, for added strength, possibly having my buddy whose been welding since was about 12.

Not to sure, most of the posts ive read have been for the 02-04s...

 

[twack]

DOH!!! I was looking at the "you save" instead of the price.

 

[twack]

well i ordered a pair to try. for that price you cant go wrong. thanks for the link

 

[bmrrwolfe]

Yeah i tried to look it back up on lost and couldn't find it again..
I think that it was a 2" or 3" drop that worked for the 02-04?

I think if you want a cut less fit you also need a half inch spacer to clear the opening.
