Well long story short I got myself REALLY stuck a while back and one of my friends got a little throttle-happy while snatching me out. When the strap went taught it pretty much jumped me out of the hole I was in, but resulted in my right front tow hook being yanked out and upwards. It's looking like a jagged buck tooth in my bumper and I need to get it bent back down, but have no idea how. I leaned into it with a pry bar but with me being 175lb I just bounced in mid air. Any ideas?? If pictures are needed just let me know.

 

just get a new one.

Once its been weakened by twisting it out of shape, you'll have to weaken it more by heating it up to bend it back.

I have some stock edge tow hooks for sale if you are interested

 

Heating and banging the heck out of it again. Or jsut get new tow hooks from Tractor Supply for $7 a piece...looks nicer, IMO.

 

this happened to me, the hook is fine, its the front frame piece that is jacked

where can i get another??
can someone with a decent j/y near them pull one for me?

 

Like txboy11 said, the hook itself is fine, the frame that it's attached to is bent. I work in a shop so I might just slowly set the end of one of the lifts down on it 'cause nothing short of a sumo wrestler will budge that thing.

 

pshhhh Just cut that crossmember out and stick a front receiver hitch in there, you won't bend that dude.

 

or get one of the winch plates designed by eguy208, that straightened mine out :)


i have some beefy *** hooks, that everyone asks "where did you get those?!" lol, i guess i could sell those... i prefer having something that i can bolt on if i take my winch plate off thoug

 

front hitch looks the same as a back one?

i just cut out my crossmember and bolt hitch to either side of the frame??
