tow hook question????

Has anyone removed their tow hooks? I am tying to figure out how they go on. Do you have to take the whole bumper cover off to put tow hooks on? I have an idea for some cheap tow hooks but I need to know how the factory ones are installed.

if you have small hands you don't have to take off the bumper but it is tight & somewhat a pain but can be done ( I've done it )

thier held on by 2 bolts, I don't know of any aftermarket hooks only oem as far as I know

Are you looking for what they call the "M" bolt? "M" because it is shaped like an M. sorta

ok took a look at the pdf file, Does anyone have the part number for the M-bolt and that nut clip?

I thought the "m" bolt was for the front hooks. I bought a set of hardware from J-parts (had to call). I lost one in the front frame rail and cant get it it out :evil:

. If anyone has an extra or wants to split a set let me know. I think it was a little over $20.00 shipped to me from J-parts.

I've seen those types of clip nuts at Lowes; they have a whole section of automotive fasteners. Unfortunately, you're probably out of luck on the M bolt.

www.jparts used to have it listed, but I can't find it now. Maybe call them?

Thanks everyone I went to my local dealership and they tried to sell me a stud plate, cheesy tin plate with two studs that hang down through the holes but you have to remove the bumper.....

I have one M-bolt, because when i put on my tow hooks, there were already 2 studs there for the factory tie down thing.

Aks your dealer for a "Recovery Hook Install kit"? Thats what they called it in the installation instructions
