Terrano tow hooks...

[icekayak]

Anyone recognize these tow hooks there is one on each side and can't spot a rating anywhere on them. They look fairly substantial and have 8.8 bolts but wondering about replacing with rated hooks based purely on the fact I can't find a rating... Truck has a winch bar etc...

Thinking maybe a piece of decent angle through those original holes and then the new hook on its side through the angle.

for peice of mind, 20 bucks a hook is cheap.

plus some people out there on the trail wont pull you out if you not using rated hooks

Auto manufacturers rarely Rate recovery points.....Saves them money on lawsuits in the event of failure. however the ones on my mistral regularly get tested

im looking at getting rated hooks for the reason that at least the hook bends away before anything gets broken and becomes a projectile...

how did you end up doing it? im up to the stage of putting rated one on mine but not to sure of the best way

is there rated hooks out there that bolt on sideways like the factory one
i find they stay on better and sometimes are easyer to hook up,
(meaning hook sideways and bolt holes still vertical)
