Thanks for the comment. It was a lot of work (and expense) but she really enjoyed it!

Thanks for the comment, you have to have one of the cleanest 15 year old trucks on here.

Front Pull Hooks-
Looking at your rig, I see that it is the next model after mine. Such being the case, your have different front frame horns than I did. Yours are fully boxed with a crush zone. I only know this because my Wife has a 96 Bronco - and I've been wanting to put front pull hooks on hers, too.
I have not done it yet because I've been worried that if I drilled holes in the crush zones and mounted hooks, it might weaking the area, and even deform the front horns if I pulled really hard (I don't want to do that - make the bumper crooked).
I had a friend who was able to do it by running a longer strip of 2x2 angle iron back along the lower part of the frame, anchoring it outside of the crumple zone. Seemed to work good for him. He later used it to mount a drawbar to tow his Bronco cross-country behind his other truck.
For myself, I've been looking at mounting a front 2in Receiver Hitch (JC Whitney has one) which will offer a mounting point that is versitile and distributes the pulling force equally between the two frame rails... hook, winch, skid-plate, bike carrier...
... I just have not gotten around to doing it yet.

Whichever method you go with - Best of Luck!!! Hope your hooks are used more for yanking other people out of the ditch. :-)

Front Pull Hooks-
Happy to help.
The hooks themselves were salvaged off of a '72 Suburban, but you can likely get simular ones off of an old School Bus or Logging Truck.
For my truck, I did not want to cut the lower air damn, so I did a little fabrication with a short 2x2 piece of angle iron, a drill, and three Grade 8 bolts, washers, and nuts. One bolt attached the top of the hook to the existing anchor holes on the front frame. The angle iron was used to allow a second bolt point to the lower hole on the hooks. I drilled a hole on both faces of the angle iron - bolted one face of the angle iron to a matching hole in the bottom of the frame, and then another hole on the other face of the angle iron to match the lower hole of the hook... and then I tighted the hell out of all three bolts. I did all this work in my driveway with an electrin drill and hand tools.
That was the complicated way. If you want the simple way and don't mind cutting a little clearance slot in your lower air damn, you can do the whole thing to the frame without having to use the angle iron.
I'm damn glad I had those hooks. They proved very useful countless times.

I think those seats are in section 512. My uncle and his co-workers went in on PSL's years ago so I usually buy some games off of him. 512 is where we mostly sit. We tailgate over in the Staples lot, stop by for a beer and burger this year!

It's my college mascot - Graduated from Notre Dame in 2007. I was a firefighter/live-in at a department just north of campus and I was also a firefighter for Notre Dame Fire Department. I thought it was a nice mix of both...
