Anybody that wants one or a set of these should contact John of Powell RaceParts at qwikredline@hotmail.com for any further info.

Update for anybody that hasn't heard, I pulled a Ford F250 V10 (curb weight 6000lbs) up a hill with my
rear hook and no issues, minus my tow strap that was only rated for 3333lbs it frayed a tad.

 

OK.. quick questions ...

I've got both front and rear hooks from the guys at OCC.

There's a long hook, and a short hook. Which one goes where? Long to the front, or the rear???

Would it be ok to mount the rear hook on the same side as the exhaust??

 

short goes up front, long in the back.

Not sure how yours were made but the PRS ones that most of us have needed a spacer to drop it down to clear the front bumper.

For the rear I guess its your call were to put it...as long as the mounting bracket will reach. But Id keep it away from the exhaust.

 

long to the rear

yeah mount it pretty much where ever you want as long as you got bolts through the metal in the rear bumper

dang beat me to it

 

The hooks I got are brandy new. They came with all the necessary spacers and hardware! Quite the outfit really. Nothing buy impressed by these things. Except I couldn't figure out which went where!! lol

Thanks guys! As soon as I read this, I realized my mistake! lol All fixed!! took not 15 minutes..

 

Pictures?

 

wait...you installed these in 15min?

It took me a few hours just to drill the holes for these.

 

i think he meant it took 15 minutes to fix his mistake. where's the how to for the front?

 

for some reason.. something I never do is take pics of my car.. lol..

I'll post some pics of it done, but that's bout all I can do...

And yea.. only took about 15 minutes to install the first time.. Mind you, I did it while I was installing my FMHE, so the bumper was off the car at the time.. lol

 

Just follow the how to for the rear and make it the front, its the same procedure.

 

Yea... it's straight forward really.. And a good product too...

 

WOW!!! That rear hook was a Pain the the A$$!!!!! I had to sharpen my drill bits three times each!! Total install time was bout 35-40 minutes, But my arm is killing me!! lol

Sorry, no how to. Just finished pics.. gimme your thoughts...

 

Looks good man, might want to slap some black vinyl down under where the rear hook hits the lip unless you wanna lose paint.

 

yeah Im pretty sure the rear steel is thicker. My titanium bit exploded while drilling the rear holes. I was taking breaks to cool it off and dipping it oil too, LOL

 

The hooks were just in there for the pics. Thanks to the Quick Release Pins, I can easily pull them out and toss em in the trunk..

 

looks great but doesn't that translate to structural damage?

 

we have to do it all over again with my car too!

 

Doubtful its anything to worry about, with the clamping load you end up replacing the metal removed with the grade8 hardware.
I need to redo 1 of my front holes, figured out I drilled it a bit off.

 

Found some of my pictures:


Pulled up a hill off of the freeway.

Broke this tree off and outta the road.

Caused the beam to warp a tad But is proof that your car will be broken and in pieces before this thing lets go.

Kidding
