I put take off front expedition tow hooks on the rear hitch using square u-bolts. I had the tow hooks sprayed with Rhino lining. Very durable and non slip as I use them as steps on the back of the truck more than anything else.

 

My 2 year old factory chrome tow hooks are rusted and pitted...

 

Thanks, looks good!

 

To get an idea of how silver hooks are going to look I'm going to hit the chrome hooks with some rattle can and if I like it I'll have the powder coated.

By chance do you live in the rust belt? We don't have that problem down here.

Here's my white ptm pics. Just plastidipped to see how I'd like it. Probably sandblast it in time. One was rusted so that's why I did it.

That explains it alright.
