OBS tow hooks

Any you all know where to get tow hooks for the OBS trucks?

You have to fab your own...nobody makes a bolt up kit

Colibert used to make em I found out. Can't get a reply out of them so far.
Thanks

I just put a front hitch on my truck, problem solved. ;) Makes pulling out/getting pulled out easier, plus a whole ton of other handy things.

A receiver is always th eBest way but I just like the looks of hooks. Tom S has some of the Colibert hooks they look sharp!

do you have any pictures of it? I would like to see it.

I need a recovery point in the front too. I have a RSK, can a front resse hitch fit with the RSK bracket?

If anyone needs a front reciever hitch I have a reese one up for sale for 120 plus shipping, didnt need it anymore cuase I got an Iron Bull bumper

They are some nice hooks! But would they work w a RSK?

I just ordered a set of these tow hooks a few days ago so they are still available. I talked to Jeremy .

Thanks to Tom for helping me get hooked up :D
And I agree a receiver is the best way I just couldn't help ordering these while they are still around.

OBS trucks don't need tow hooks on the front - only needed on the rear to pull out SuperDuty's. ;)

I am surprised they still have those.

I'm usually pulling my son's Cheby outta the mud
I shoulda asked how many of th ehooks they had left. If anybody wants some now would be the time to call..

How much did they cost? Just curious. They are nice, but.......

Im gonna say no. It looks like they use two existing holes in the frame horn, and one of those is partially covered by the RSK, and i dont think you can trim the RSK enough to clear it due to the way it bolts to the frame. A profile pic of them installed would be nice :D

They were $66.65 delivered.

Thanks for the pic!

Definitely nice pieces, but i can now say that its not gonna work with the Sky RSK, they just go too far back on the frame. Thats a shame, i probably woulda bought a set.

Tom S, are you selling/making these? Very interested if so.

look up there for the phone number ^^^

Thanks Larry. Does Jermery have a website by chance?

http://www.colibert.com/ best to call it took some time for the email to get replied. fact i had already ordered them and then got a reply a week later. The guy that emailed me (not Jeremy) said they would not wirk on a 97 but I do not think he realized I have an OBS truck.
Also he said they would not wirk on a standard cab which I have. I think he is just trying to bust my bubble.

I just spoke with the this morning & they do still sell them & yet he didn't know if they would work with a RSK.
I also have the sky unit & its thicker than the ORU kit.
So I sent them an e-mail showing them how the RSK looks mounted & i'm waiting for a reply..

What did you guys finally end up running since I revived this dead thread?

Ooops forgot to subcribe to this thread. :D

I got mine from Colibert . Can't tell you if they will work with a RSK or not.

Looks like I'm gonna go with some custom built front & rear tube bumpers...
So I'll just add a center hitch mount to it & call it good. :D

Have you ever put a good load on them? I just wonder about them bending if you weren't pulling straight.

Not to mention that if you pull to hard on just one side you might tweek your frame..
Its always better to pull from both sides at the same time.

I'm going to see if someone can fab me up a cross member if you will with hooks that hang down. I'm not paying $150 for a receiver hitch...

Does anyone know why these won't fit a reg cab?

I would think they will work on all reg, ex and cc trucks.

Me too, but the manufacturer says no, and they are sold out of the reg cab ones. So, I think I am making one. If anybody wants one for a reg cab PM me.

No, they Will fit a regular cab.
