Front tow hook removal -- plugs available?

[toofart]

2013 Outdoorsman -- I'll be removing the two front tow hooks to install a front-mounted hitch and there will be two gaping holes. There must be some plugs available for the models that don't have the hooks? I can't seem to find them.

Thanks for your help and/or part numbers you can dig up.

my 11 with no hooks has the plastic as one solid peice, id have to cut out for tow hooks.. maybe the 13's are the same.

Yup, I have a 2013 Sport with no tow hooks and it's one solid plastic piece.

Ah I see.



I just need to find that plastic piece.

I dunno yet. They seem fairly pricey, and I'm thinking I might want to put them back on if I remove my front hitch.

I think that plastic insert is about $10 at the dealer for a non-tow hook truck.

***Same Frame Mount with alighnment pin for PS and DS

Hooks From 2012 Sport ARE THE SAME Just Mounted Backwards As they Do NOT make a 2013 Hook


2013 Mounts Open Inwards to avoid rubbing against the bumper plus cut away instead of where they are supposed to be mounted


2013 Insert Without tow hooks is 40.00 From Edmonton Capital Dodge

2012 Mounts Like a Normal Tow Hook and just needs to be cut away in the avalible opening

2012 Laramie Bumper insert looks the same from the Highway but is nowhere near close to the same mount or size 80. Dollars From Capital Dodge Edmonton with Cutouts






If anyone knows of a factory hook or an aftermarket/ Machine shop/ Fabrication place that will make these hooks for a competitive $150.00 Dealership Pricing that works for this truck and looks like it belongs that would be greatly appreciated


Thanks for your time

I HAVE PICTURES TO SHOW ON THIS ADD FOR kIJIJI.CA

2011 and 2012 Bumper inserts are nowhere near the same as a 2013 11/12 is almost a rectangle and the 13 has these wider drops on the ends with a slimmer middle (personally I like the 11/12 Better, I even heard that the grille isnt the same from 11-13 as an aftermarket 12 will not fit on a 13 allegedly they are slightly different sizes but have not confirmed that yet
