What are you talking about??

Most all the factory trucks don`t have hooks in the back some one installed them

Are they also welded ??

If you (I mean the OP) are talking about a 4Runner, the '99 SR5 V6 4WD definitely did not come with a rear hook. I own one I bought new.

On the front ones, there are 2 very obvious bolts that hold it on.
Are there bolts on that rear one?

Post a photo.

I had a 99 4runner and currently have a 2000. Neither came with a rear tow hook. I took one off the front of another 3rd gen 4runner and added it to the rear of my current. The tow hood was not threaded.
