Tow hook on Mazda B2500

Phil
thier answer is spot on these hooks are designed only for towing & not shock loading the problem does not lie with where the hook is positioned
the hook its self is the problem. so remove this hook /loop & replace it with a rated recovery hook bolted directly to th chasis with high tensile bolts,if you can place ine on both sides of the vehicle front & rearso as to be able to take a bridal this will alow the shock load to be spraed over the hole vehicle instead of down one side & leson the chance of twisting the chasis in a recovery
hope this helps
regards Bruce

Hi Phil,

I have a 99 Bravo SDX and have used the "tow hook" on several occasions without any drama, damage, bending of the hook etc. It is VERY solid!!

I've also attached an ARB recovery hook to the RHS chassis member but you'll need to get longer bolts to the ones supplied with the hook. Fortunately the captive nuts in the chassis member are at the correct spacing for these recovery hooks.
