The 02's use a standard tow hook available from the dealer parts department.

phox............ sorry bout the caps, but our computers in our cars at work have it fixed in and always on so it's just easier for me to read what i wrote. thanks for the info on the hooks. for some reason my local ******* cant find them in his book of parts. i should know better than to listen to them anyway, which is why i drove an hour away when i bought my truck...... thanks again for the info.

Re:NEED TOW HOOKS, CANT FIND!!

I put two chrome ones on mine with the spring clips. I think one hole was there and I had to drill the second. Use good grade eight bolts, don't get the cheap stuff. Put a heavy washer on the upper side of the frame to give you more bearing surface too. I'll add a pic if I can find one. Picked them up at a local tractor supply store if I remember right. You can also check www.awdirect.com. I buy a bit of stuff from them, they are not cheap but have quality stuff.<br>If the pic works, the hooks will be right in front of the oil filter gaurd. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck.

OOPS, had to go look up the pic. Here it is this time. The set up in the back ground is my remote oil system.

Reunel makes a nice set of stainless steel hooks. You can purchase them over the phone.
