Put on Olympic Front Rock Bumper today, reusing stock tow hooks, hence the name "Fang". Need to put a few final touches on.

Wish there was a way to mount the tow hooks BEHIND the bumper.

I like the look of that one...I was thinking about getting the or fab stubby but I might have to change my mind. How much did that run you if you don't mind me asking?

Scuffed up the hooks and hit them with a few coats of Duplicolor bed liner. They blend better now with the bumper.

If you cut a hole just big enough to get the hooks out, then all you would need to do is take the "bolts" out. They're just pressed in.

priell3, your mod looks good. Came out great.

This might be my next bumper! Any weight measurements?

I might not run tow hooks at all. Just wrap the recovery strap around the bumper at the mounting points and yank.

Bumper shipping weight according to UPS is 30 lbs. Also available with a hitch mount if you want a recovery point without the hooks
