Default is there interest in a bolt in front tow hook?

how much interest would there be in a bolt in front tow hook for the second gen dakota's with the lower holes in the bumper where tow hooks should be? no cutting of the front bumper either. i have an 2003 4x4 and will likely be having some fabricated for me and the person is wanting to know if there would be a market for these. i don't have details yet on metals and designs but when all is done there will be details and pictures.

i know it is vague but this is just starting out as an idea.

also this will likely start as a one off that i will be paying him to build so it won't be a buy in type of orders. i know the guy and he is a master fabricator, and is doing it as a favor to me.

I think there is always a good market for tow hooks, front or rear. Even though I have a winch on the front of my truck I carry a receiver mounted shackle in my toolbox for the rear.

On my Grand Cherokee, I have a front and rear receiver and carry a winch inside that I can slide in and hook up power on either the front or the back, but I carry a receiver mounted shackle in that too.

I find I like a shackle better than a tow hook. But if your guy can fabricate a tow hook, he can do a shacke mount just as easily.



I wanna say last I saw these listed they were both under $15...
