tow hook placement

[moose1]

SoI wanted to add some tow hooks to the explorer and I was woundering best placement to mount them, pics would be a plus.

OH Fiiiiiine here ya go.... They are mounted as far forward as they can be on the frame rails with the entire hook still behind the frame ears. Just drill you two holes through both walls of the rails and bolt them up.

theres no tow hooks in that pic, you just wanted to show off your junk.

However, to offer my input if you know a good welder they can be welded. Just make sure you trust who is doing the work.

one thing you guys didn't consider is that he has a 99-00.. If I recall, the bumpers are alot larger than the 95-98 and the opening in the center isn't large enough to get to the frame rails..

There are too hooks Look under the frame rails right beneath the bumper. Didnt really feel like highlighting.
