mounting towing hooks
ORIGINAL: shott8283
thinkin about a front hitch install.... ya know how when you put a rollpan on .. you can still install a hitch reciever behind the liscence plate and have the plate fold down so its nice and tucked out of the way and still looks clean!!!! for us here in NY we have to have plates/tags on both front and back of the vehicle..i have that plastice braket that comes from mopar to install the front liscence plate..i wouldnt be affraid to hack a hole behind it and make that a flip down and a hitch hiding behind it... thers another thing to add on the damn list of things i wanna do!!!!! a front hitch AND tow hooks ( i got them too) would be AWESOMe to pull ANYTHING out of a hole!!!

GOD RAM IT---sorry to bombard you with questions but i think i would be interested in purchaseing a set of brackets from you, but i have a few more questions....do i need any special nuts and/or bolts that Silver Dodge mentioned to mount the bracket to the frame?? Or can i just use plain old G5 or heavy duty bolts?? Also do i need to do any drilling....and also, cash or check or other??? thanx

The special bolt is actually a special nut. It has a handle on it so you can put it on the bolt. The bolt goes in one of the holes without a bolt in it.

If you look in the picture above you'll see a hole in the frame on the top right corner of the picture. you have to put the nut through there in order to get the nut on the bolt. I actually did this and with the help of long handles needle nose plyers it wasnt that hard.
I prefer a check or money order, that way the wife doesnt get her hands on it. HA HA HA
yea but i like to take the more complicated route and hack crap up .. i enjoy doing custom stuff ... i get stupid ideas that pop in my head all the time ... and for some reason i cant stop myself from doing them..
i agree with you shot, it is fun to customize....for me it seems like if i do one thing and finish it i have to go out and get something else to try to put on my truck......
By the way those special nuts you need to mount the brackets, does anybody know if you can just get those at the dealership or can i go to a hardware store....i checked for them quick online and the only ones i could find came with the entire kit.

when you say that we'll only have to drill one hole, thats just for the bracket, right? didnt you say there are no holes in the bracket for the hooks so that we can use whichever ones we want? dont mean to sound stupid just clarifying....

You will only have to drill 1 hole on the frame cross member to mount the bracket.
You will have to drill how ever many holes on my bracket to attach what ever tow hook you want. Most tow hooks only have 2 holes.
