Tow Hooks installed!! Cut the stock valence as well

[Alljackedup408]

Today got a chance at the shop to install the used tow hooks I bought. I cleaned em up, took a wire wheel to all the bolts and nuts, primed the hooks, and painted them to match the color of my truck with Dupli Color match up spray paint. I am very pleased with the end result... here is just a quick right up on these.. most people just have the plastic piece gone, but I like the clean look of it.. so I decided to cut slots for the hooks. I will be painting to match that lower bumper piece soon as well.

Here are some pics.

Bolts and Nuts soaked in Break Free for 2 days.

Wire Wheel time!

CLEAN!

Wire wheel to hooks.

Then sanded and primed the hooks

Paint!!

Time to pull the panel

It takes 4 plastic screws, then you just pry and pop out this piece. It takes a phillips head.

Hooks mounted.

Cuttin time!! After measuring everything carefully!!!

BAAM!

Excuse the truck.. it's super dirty.

$71.00 for used hooks shipped.

$15.00 for paint.

About 4 hours ( Painting all factored in as well )

Love it!

They would've looked even better if you had painted them bright green.

Looks good Brian!

What grit did you use to sand the hooks before spraying the primer?

Now you can use them to pull all your friends out of the mud. Looks good.
