Yes, there is a YouTube vid on a 4th Gen tow hook install where the guy shows how he installs front tow hooks on a one piece bumper Sport.Anyone ever seen the one piece bumper with tow hooks? I want to do a sport front end conversion and retain my tow hooks if possible.
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks for all the info! After looking at how much it’s going to cost to do a front end swap, I think I’ll just stick with my two piece lol. I didn’t realize I would need $1,000 plus in parts to make this work lolThose hook relocation brackets were pretty cool, and hats off to the guy that first fabricated those and gave out the design. @Georgiasport , I'm not sure if those are the ones you're using, or if you made your own, but they look good!
@BDWebb , if you do choose to use those relocation brackets, just know that by re-aligning the hooks off from the centerline of the frame rails, you're inherently lessening the strength of the hooks to transmit the full force of a dynamic recovery from the hook to the frame. By how much it's hard to say, but if you plan to use the hooks for any serious recovery operations (if you plan to get good and stuck while 4x4ing and then get yanked out), I wouldn't use relocation brackets. I'd bolt the hooks right to the frame where they were intended. However, if you don't really plan to ever be using them for serious recovery, the relocation brackets do exactly that, they center the hook into the larger opening that the sport one-piece bumpers have. And I'm sure they'd still be strong enough for a flat or static tow. Just no yanking at them.
