i guess the new jdm thing is to leave your tow hook on lol.. ie seen it on a few hondas around here and was wondering if there are some that will fit the xb tat are cooler than the oem one?

 

Mine is in the other thread. Here is a link https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=217939

 

Ive seen some red ones on ebay, of course they are advertised as JDM, like everything else!

 

I can't quite understand the point of having a tow hook sticking out of the bumper! Someone fill me in...

 

Track cars have a tow hook for the chase vehicle to tow them back to pits/nxt run

 

its a lil ricey ill admit but i just think it is cool and unique when people leave them in

 

I thought they would be a hazzard at first but they are growing on me too. Just not sure if I'll get some yet.

 

why would you ever want to make it easier for someone to tow your car? lol

I almost put mine in, then realized I don't want it towed!

 

lol thats a good point but at least if you were getting towed u would know it was safer than them effin around tryin to tow it w/o the hook

 

The tow hook is not for actually toting the car around behind a camper or something. It's a RECOVERY hook, made for things like, um...

...gee, I don't know.


And for the record, I swerved to avoid flattening a dog. MY dog, as a matter of fact.

In my case, leaving it on would be a matter of convenience. ;)

The gentleman above has had one modified, and it looks GORGEOUS, but if you don't have friends at a machine shop it might be tough.

Anybody know which Toyota vehicles have compatible hooks? We might get some nice ones off other models.

 

Ya, i figured you couldn't exactly TOW it with the hook, I see what ya mean. lol

 

I am gonna put one on my roof so my box will look like a big key chain

 

No friends, just paid $20.

 

hahahaha

 

there no place to screw the stock tow hook in the front is there?

 

bottom left side

 

You have to pop out the little cover over the socket. It's on the driver's side.

OR, you can drive arouhnd for a year, and it'll come off on its own! HAHAHAHA no seriously, those things are crap.

 

lol i know i always see stock xbs with tht piece missing

 

Anyone have the stock one for sale? I recently had to have mine towed, and with the rear end modified it was tough for the tow driver to find a spot to hook up to in the back to tie down. The one that came with it was used in the front to haul it on the truck.

 

I will not be putting mine in because my friends would chain my box to something immobile or drag it some where else for a prank.
