OK, I was looking at my stock tow hook and was noticing how much it reduces my aproach angle, kinda sticks out like a sore thumb. On late 90's GM 4x4 trucks they have a hook that mounts sidways and is really beafy. I wonder if this could be made to fit since I have no imediate plans for front shackle points I thought this may be an option as well as the idea of mounting the factory hook on the side of the frame rail. any thoughts and/or pictures of what you've done would be apreciated

No one has an idea for a flat or sideways tow hook, come on!

 

I mounted one stock and one aftermarket tow hood sideways on my front bumper brackets:

 

Mike I think Cory in TTR is using one. Hit him up for info.

 

I did not even think about that, I litteraly work across the fence from him, I'll check it out!

 

Dick Foster has a writup for this exact mod floating around on TTORA, I do belive. If you can't find it, I might have it saved somwhere......turns out I have a printout sitting on the desk right now. If you can't find it I can even fax it to ya.

 

Here it is, its with a tacoma in mind, but I'm sure it can be adapted for all of your needs.
