Rope Hooks - What to Do!? .... #ropehooksmatter

a very long box wrench on a stick lol

then i shall have to succumb to the peer pressure

 

I mean yeah I painted mine but you can see how bad they looked. Ya'll are crazy & have issues! They're just rope hooks!

 

if these things were a dime-a-dozen i would have less of a hangup i guess
don't want the hooks to look like ass as a previous member said who said that

 

Last I saw they can still be purchased new, not disco'd yet.

 

i replaced all of my scuff plate screws and did not complain like this because those things were less than $1 a piece!
these hooks are +1000% of those screws

 

They're $10 ea, not too bad.

 

Lmfao are you serious Zero4??? This topic dies now, if that's the case

 

I mean I wouldn't buy new ones. Exactly why I painted mine as I showed earlier. So people are complaining about the price of $10 ea new yet they want to pay to get them powder coated, nickel plated, or get custom ones made? Like I said, ya'll are crazy!

 

That's too funny, I hadn't seen or heard a price on oem replacement so I just assumed they were NLA.

 

Make some from titanium so these suckers will buy them at $400 a set. If work permmited me to make some I would.

 

Good idea!

 

May as well make a cheaper version of the seat spacers too. That thread has gotten a lot of attention. $100 for two chunks of aluminum. Dudes gotten 19 people comited, that's a quick $1900!

 

All those seat spacers crack me up. I've never driven a 3rg gen, I have only sat in one so I'll never understand it but in a first gen I really don't understand it. I wish my seat sat lower & I'm short. Here we frown upon shock spacers, leaf spring blocks, ball joint spacers but seat spacers are ok?

The mind boggles!



But yeah I get it, everyone is different, I'll respect that.

 

I guess if theres a market for it, may as well take advantage of it. Theyll probably spend a day or so making a prototype on a manual mill, then draw up the final design and send it to a CNC. They'll have their $2k made before lunch lol.

 

Especially when you can make a set from strut channel for like $20 or move the seat back so your knees are lower.

 

Sssshhh. The op of that thread is easily triggered when you counter him with logic.

 

Rope Hook BLING..

 

Okay @GQ2772 you got your solution, to replace them with new ones. This satisfies what question you have or what other info or solution you were after?

 

if i could bathe my taco bed with the finest karat gold hooks that would be so much bling bling fairy dust!!!

 

Man, just Linex right over them. That's what I did to mine, it's what I did to my entire truck actually Lol. You can see my truck, but I can take a pic of my tie downs and show you if you want. That being said, I have brand new oem tie downs and screws because I bought them prior to realizing I couldn't get them off haha. For sale if interested

Yeah I tried to remove mine, once with a driver, twice with a ratchet, broke all the bits Lol
