    First Gen Brothers,

    Been surfing around for a good option for a shackle on my 2004 TRD in place of the tow hook. Searched, didn't find what I was lookin for. Anyone make something along these lines for 1st Gens?

    Pretty simple to make

    Should be a bunch close to where you live

    I'm not sure of the 2004 frame is different but IIRC my 1996 has a loop by the towhook mount that you can put a shackle through

    yeah saw that, not sure if that's "beefy" enough but will check it out once I get my truck back (Brother borrowed it for the weekend). Thanks for the bounce back.
