Here are the pics of the hooks. Sorry it took so long that work thing keeps getting in the way, and I had to find them.

If you want them, I can sand blast them down and powder coat them if you want. That's what I was going to do to them.

Got the tow hooks sand blasted today. There was also a casting seem on them, so I ground that smooth. I don't know if you can see it in the pic, but they look better now. If you want them a different color than gloss black, let me know. I have Red, and a coup[le of other colors that I can't think of off the top of my head...LOL They are being baked off to prepare them for powder coating...

They look great man, gloss black will do just fine if you can.

Do you do this yourself then? Or just know someone close who does

I do it myself. I have been powder coating for a few years now. I have gotten pretty good at it.

Went out to the shop and powder coated them. They got a double powder coating. Tell me what you think.

I had after market tow hooks... I removed them and will make some diy tow shackle mounts front after I hit my head when chasing a dropped bolt while mounting the oil pan.
I like the oem hooks but no more hooks under my trucks :)

Chicks dig scares, and look at the story you have.

You were fighting off a gang of Terrorist's while holding a baby, protecting a womans virtue. You won the battle, but they hit you on top of the head with a meat hook on a chain. No one has to know the real story...LOL Your truck kicked your ass...

@Mr Clean
Nice work! Very cool.
Thank You...A bit time consuming but I think its worth it. I'm looking at getting a bigger oven so I can do bigger parts. Been doing some reading to see if I can do ball joints, and items like that.
