So just wanted to know how to install a rear tow hook before I bought one.. Any links I can get or a thread I can get into? The search option on this site wasn't any help either.

 

Take out the 2 bolts in the stock one, pull of stock hook. Put new hook on with supplied hardware in same spot.

 

yeah I knew my answer was going to be this simple, only reason I asked is because while looking around I noticed some ppl had mention welding? So yeah thanks

 

Well ok so I was about to start my install and saw no where to connect my tow hook.. Seems like welding might be coming up soon.

 

no lol there is no need for welding.

I'll take a pic of the mounting point tomorrow

 

OP, which tow hook did you get???

 

I bought the password jdm tow hook, only one that looked decent to me.

 

if you got the password jdm tow hook, there is no need to weld. the oem tow hook is located near the back driver side. like so.

 

Ook, well yeah I noticed that when I looked under my car and then some other forum plus this guy down the street from me mentioned welding so it threw me off. But alright after I stand duty these next 2 days I'll go home and put it on and then slap that guy down the street for confusing me. Thanks for the assistance guys!

 

2 screws, 4 washers, and 2 nuts WTF?

 

You in buff ny?

 

Yeah I'm in buffalo, ny

 

Put one washer on the bolt, slide bolt through hole, put other washer on bolt, put nut on, tighten. Repeat for last bolt.

 

Yeah did that already now I need bolts so I can attach it to my car. That's the only reason I'm annoyed. Thanks for the instructions tho quite humorous

 

You reuse the bolts that held the stick piece on...

 

I got my car used so I don't have those bolts.. I'm pretty s.o.l right now!

 

Didn't you take off the stock tow hook? Anyways goto Ace Hardware, Lowes, Home Depot, etc etc and buy the bolts.

 

Word man, nice to see other Scion owners in the area. Come out and cruise with us sometime!

 

No I didn't take off the old one, wasn't even on to begin with. My mistake saying earlier in the thread that I took it off. Wasn't thinking str8

 

Yeah sounds like it'll be an awesome time.. I'm pretty stock tho at the moment! Hoping to change that soon.
