Yah! Was thinking that since it held air that I could keep it as a cheap tire repair kit in the future

 

? What is this black magic ? There has to be a minimum price you’ll accept I’m assuming?

 

Early 90s GMC tow hooks, had them powder coated. Each hook has 2 holes but only had to drill one hole for each, removed an existing bolt and cut some plastic and the second bolt fit right in. I could take more pictures to give you a better idea?

 

Mounted to the frame I assume?

 

The trailer hitch

 

Hip bones connected to the leg bone

 

I agree that the proportions are better sometimes...

sometimes, from some angles it just doesn't look right.

 

Hm. Seems like it’s just for looks then? Unless you recover ALOT of vehicles. A d-ring recovery that goes into the hitch would suffice IMO. (Not hating. It does look great!)

 

Hopefully my high bid is good right now......lol

 

Looks great!

 

Hopefully they’ll never be used but if needed they’re there and they will work

 

Do you have an underside picture of the mount points?

 

I’ll take one tomorrow

 

Sweet. I wanted to replace the front row hooks with red d-rings until I found out they aren’t rated for recovery. Not one to mod simply for looks. But looks + usefulness is a win.

 

thanks --- its slick for sure. ready to get beat up

 

Link to buy?

 

I like the color matched window visors!

 

TRX style scoop lights. Wired them to turn on with the fog lights with an H11 splitter. Haters gunna hate.


For the non-haters curious about how I did this...

Raptor Lights:

Universal Raptor Light Brackets:
- Used multiple pieces of double sided tape to "mount" the brackets to the scoop and get the thickness/height I wanted.

H11 Splitter to tap into driver side Fog Light:
- Cut off the connector for one side of the splitter and wired to Raptor Lights.
- Had to "flip the wires" on other connector to plug into into the fog light properly (if you don't do this, power and ground will be backwards and wont work).
