Finally found my chrome hooks and installed last night. Neat lil mod and the bolts cost me $7 at a local shop, grade 8 so I'm pretty stoked about this!!!!

I got mine installed last night. I was able to come up with some u-bolts here at work that fit perfectly (part number N131641 from John Deere). I also used flanged lock nuts so they won't come loose. I have about $40 in the project between the hooks and hardware. The hooks came from Ebay.

here's my take on the tow hooks -


the only Ford ones I could find at the junk yard were off an Expedition and they were just too big (tried to install them but it just didn't work). I found a set off an old chevy. Junk yard charged me $5.00 each and the hooks are open





someone mentioned in another thread that Autozone sells a leaf spring repair kit for $16.00 - read up and it says the kit is grade 8 kind of had to bend them a little but they worked





















probably never use them but it's good to have

I got these off of an old S10 in the junk yard. Seem to be the same ones as Stevebass

Put mine on last weekend, they were takeoffs from my 03. scratched them up and painted with semi-flat black. Fasteners came from AutoZone. I had to narrow the threaded end ever so slightly...cost = 1 can paint +1 U-bolt kit = $14.

anybody have trouble using a 7 pin harness? that left tow hook looks like it's in the way in lots of these pics.

The tow hooks on the rear of a raptor are part of the reciver hitch its around $400-$500.
