Default Tow Hooks

Ok i have been wondering why the hell my blazer does not have front tow hooks,
I have seen same year same model blazers have them And really would like to know
where i can get them and what i would need to install them, i have been in a few
situations where i needed pulled out of the mud and had to latch onto either front
bumper which is a really could chance of really screw it up or even had to attach to
my front sway bar so any help on how to get some front tow hooks would be awesome

you should be able to get a set at the junkyard, they bolt to the frame I'd assume you'd have the spots for them. Not all were equipped with the recovery hooks, and pulling people out with it attached to your sway bar is extremely bad!!

Yea best to hit up a junkyard. This shows how they install. I have a set I could sell you if you can't find any.

My RPO code says "VR6 HOOK , TIE-DN SHPG" So it's actually a tie down hook for securing the truck on a ship or train. But then, my truck comes from Japan . . . you all know by now! And the steerings on the other side!

While you are at it you should also pick up a set of hooks from a full size like did and see if the mounting holes are the same distance apart. They are usually thicker then the ones for the S series of trucks. Just check out my pics to see the difference from factory to ones of of a mid/late 90's Tahoe. Good luck.
I have more then this in my pics.

+1 Put a set of 88-98 gm fullsize truck tow hooks on my truck this weekend and they give it a more agressive look. Got em for $15 at my local pick and pull.
