I can't tell,are them regular 69-72 hooks or the extreme bend?

69TowRig · 11-23-2007, 09:14 AM

They were "normal" bend 69-72 hooks. Already sold for $250 though, the rest of us lose out! They are starting to get cheaper though, maybe if they hit $200 I will buy a set.

Who ever is going to repop these tow hooks better have a fat pocket, because the setup and mold fee will cost a fortune.

And if they don't look exactly like the originals they will be just another set of $12 hooks.

I believe the oem hooks are forged steel, so in the real world they aren't cheesy like the JC Whitney & Summit generic $12. Just another positive, still not worth $259 IMO but hey.

Only originals are worth alot of money.Likw all desireable "factory" options.Other than that they`re "just hooks".

Cheesy in appearance or in quality & strength? I've had hooks like these for many years, and have applied as much torque as my K20 can make in low range, and haven't been able to bend them.
