front tow hook

[AK Falco]

Etlsport, did you use any type of washers or spacers on your second hook? i got one off a 90 something rodeo,but it doesn't look like yours? it looks more "hidden"

[etlsport]

nope, just used the bolts pulled from the donor vehicle (back of an old trooper) and it bolted right up

Crap! Last week I found a totaled 99 TOD Trooper that had everything but the engine. I could have pulled the hook for you. It was so tempting, it still had the tranny and the TOD transfer case. It would be nice to have a spare tranny just in case.

Went to pull a part. penty of hooks for all! if any one wants i can pull and ship. look at my install, safe from snags but might hurt cladding.?
great idea Etlsport!

Yep think your right, a tow rope would foul the bumper. I just put some shakles on the tie down eyes at the front. Much safer than a hook in my opinion. Means you can have a bridle attached at all times when off roading, making easy recovery

shackles


Bridle attached



for times like these

hey crotch out of interest could you get some pics of how you mounted the shackles.

thanks

Will do, there are two tie down eyes on the front end as standard. Normally these wont do for off roading and if your in a 4x4 club they wont recover you with them......However our's are about 4-6mm plate thats welded to the chassis and MORE than capable than taking the pull. Put it this way, last time out in the mud i had a discovery pulling me out a hole with his winch, he had another disco and a nissan patroll tied up to his 4x4 as anchors and all 3 were being pulled along the ground (before using a rather large tree as an anchor ) So it deffo takes the weight !!

this is a bit cleaner
