Hello,

I've read plenty of info on the forum regarding where and how to fit recovery hooks to vehicles, but still have no idea where to exactly place them on my 2006 Hilux. Thought it would be quicker to ask if any of you have experience with fitting recovery hooks for snatch towing, on a 2005-2010 aged Hilux, if so, would really appreciate hearing from you and how you resolved fitting them. I have a removable tow bar fitted and wondering if the tow frame near the chassis frame can be used?
Don't worry I'm not silly enough to use the front tow points or the tow ball
cheers

Can you unbolt the original tow points on the front and use them? Some people take out their towball and use a shackle for 4wding

for mine i justgot a hitch made to fit in the removable tow bar and bolted a hook on.

for the front visit newhilux.net and search forums upo can get them in aussie

The front tow hooks are welded onto the chassis, maybe they can be removed and the recovery hooks mounted in their place?

As for the back, I was thinking along the lines you have recommended.

Have looked at the Oz hilux site and yes there are some good articles, but thought it quicker to learn from someone who has solved the problem with the same vehicle.

Thanks for the quick responses

Cheers
Clive
