TRX rear tow hooks?
- Thread starter Kdixer
- Start date
Awesome! My wife typically runs the facebook page. I try to stay up on this forum and Instagram. I appreciate all of the ideas that people are giving.That was me actually
Can you post a picture of your hooks? Also some rough measurements would help. Did you buy them online or at a dealer? I looked online and the few sources I found that listed them, said they were out of stock. I'd like to knock this project out while I still have my factory bumper on. I'm getting ready to pull my factory bumper to start the designs on the rear bumper offerings coming soon.

I got them online from BAM Wholesale Parts. There is only one part number (68462886AB) as each side is the same. Here are some pics. Let me know what measurements you need or I can ship you one to get this knocked out.
I'll check them out and see if there are more sets available. I think this should be pretty quick and easy to prototype and then I can get it into CAD and start getting my parts laser cut for production. A width measurement and distance between holes would be helpful to start though. Thank you

Let me know if you need any other measurements. I can break out my calipers and get even more exact if you need it.
Awesome. That will get me started. Thank you. I put in an order for a set of hooks but wanted to get started on layout sooner rather that later.

I am interested when you get the brackets. Would love to have rear tow hooks
I ordered the hooks. I need to find the part number for the factory bolts too. I'll probably weld nuts to the back side of the bracket that will accept the factory bolts. Since this is a smaller item I'll I will probably start offering these as soon as I get a batch back from laser cutting to make sure everything is right. Would you guys like to see them raw steel or powder coated or offer an option for both?

I think powder coated black to match closely to the factory hitch would be great. They aren't seen, so blending in would be nice.
Also, if you find out the part number for the bolts please post it. When I was researching with the dealer they couldn't find it at that point.
Seriously cannot wait for these brackets to be released. You are the man!

I’d like a raw option I can get powder coated to match my front hooks.

He isn't making or including the hooks. Just the brackets to mount them.

Yeah after I posted I realized it was a stupid comment
No worries. As far as the bracket would you rather see raw steel, powder coated or an option for both?

Optional for those that may want to weld it on or something.
Sounds reasonable.

I will buy a set of brackets as soon as they are available .... Can't wait! 
As soon as my hooks get here I will build a set of brackets and then reverse engineer them into CAD and get that file sent to my laser cutter. As soon as I get a set back from them, I will test fit and insure there are no adjustments needed. Once I know the file is good and laser cut is where we need it, they will go up for sale.I will buy a set of brackets as soon as they are available .... Can't wait!

Powder coated for me.
also will the brackets fit if you have the bed step?
