Tow Hook

I have an 07 sport so i didnt get a tow hook up front so while i was at harbor freight i picked this up its a perfect fit i was a little iffy wether or not it would fit but i couldnt pass it up for only 8 bucks it reminds me of the oe one i had on the front of my 95 4runner

 

Personally for safety purposes I would use a D-Ring shackle vs a hook. It is more secure and you do not have to worry about your strap slipping off. But a hook IS better than nothing.

 

Got pics?

 

The picture is a bit different from the actual thing it looks a lot thicker and the safety clip touches the hook itself I will post pics later today

 

So how is the weather down in Carcas Crispy? Been hot as blazes here in Dallas. Might be heading down your way in a month or so with the yaks for some fishing.

 

I had one of those for a while, I really didn't like how low it hung down in the front, along with the fact you couldn't fit a shackle on it. I ended up getting one of these, 10000x better.

Looks like he's doing another run of them if you want one.

 

yeah its hot and humid, not the best weather but what do you expect for Corpus Christi

 

I wonder if those mount so they fit through the holes on the skid plate? The OEM tow hook does.

 

what hardware do you use? i just bought a hook from harbor freight sat. when i returned my atv winch the other day. the stock hardware is too short for this hook. i need 2 new botls

 

I went to Toyota to place an order for them i was going to order the ones on the trd off road luckly the guy working the counter said he might have some in the garage and low and behold he came back with both of them and gave them to me for free

 

reviving an old post. Can this be mounted with the hook facing upward?

 

Do the new ones come with hooks? I'll be bummed if my sport doesn't have them

 

Don't count on it.

 

I prefer the hooks because my strap has loops on both ends. I like the one open and 1 closed on Tacoma's. My F150 had 2 closed and always wondered why. I put 2 similar hooks on rear of my '87 F150. Pulled out a Ford tractor that was buried. It took like 10 jerks and hooks held up fine. I bolted to frame with grade 5s. I had retain clips on mine.

 

That's not a hook. That's a hook
