The front tow hooks did not come on XE models, also Jay and Zack figured out that these will bolt onto the rear of our trucks as long as you are not running a reciever hitch.
Your right. The bolt I used is a Grade/Class 8.8, I'm sure there is a class that is hardened and more appropriate for a recovery point. My plan is to use this as a tie-down point, so it should be OK for that.
I want to thank Grampy again for making me a left hand hook way back when. I think I may have been the second person to have two tow hooks.
A little over a year ago my truck overheated and I had to have it towed in to the dealership. They guy that picked it up had one of the carriers that actually hauls the vehicle instead of towing it.
Before I could stop him he had hooked the tow line around both of the hooks. I thought sure that it would break the hook Grampy made for me, but it not only held up, it didn't even scratch the chrome plating.
Is there any update on the driver's side tow hook? I spoke with my dealer and they are still on backorder with nothing at any of his suppliers.
What about the Navarras? I think it would be worth it to ship a hook from our international friends if they have some around. Maybe even a group buy. What do you think?
Okie!!
Glad to here the tow hook held up for you. Not that I was worried. After we finished putting it together we put it in a six ton press and put the pressure on it.The base that the hook was on flexed more than the hook did.
The PN for the DS hook is 51113-EA000 and the PN for the bolts are 081B7-2452A, just remember the bolts are sold separately.
The dealer price for the hook is 49.53 and the bolts are 2.92 each but you can get the whole deal for ~45 bucks total shipped.
It does appear thou that they are all sold-out in the US.
I wonder what it would cost to ship them over from AUS? Does anyone want to take this on as a task? Possibly work a deal in which they ship us 10 and we ship them 10? Just shootin ideas out there.
Look up the thread adding a second tow hook. The OP mounted a passenger side hook on the driver's side. I found a supplier in the UK, several members have purchased a correct hook from them. These come off of a right hand drive truck.
Email Thorton, tell them what you want. They'll invoice you via PayPal. You'll usually have it at your door in two days. Don't know what you mean by "and the UK supplier I assume is Home". See my location under my avatar.
