Ive been wondering can you bolt up some tow hooks onto the front of a f150 04 xlt 2wd?? And if so where can you buy some tow hooks for it?

 

Yes, you can bolt a set on your 2wd. You should be able to get a set from Tasca, or possibly ebay.

 

Yup! You just have to cut holes in the lower valance for them if there aren't holes already. I did this for my bullbar, no biggie.

 

You will also need the plates with nuts welded on them for inside the frame rails. You won't be able to get a wrench on regular nuts.

 

I did this, you can find them on ebay or the dealer.. Make shure you get the nut plates....If you don't care how it looks then just cut holes in the lower valance...if you want it to look factory order the valance... that's what I did.. pics in profile

 

The nut inserts on the 4x4 just float in the frame anyway, you will need the tow hooks, nut insets and the bolts. I would probably try to get them from Tasca Ford Parts. I wouldn't want to take a chance with low grade or previously damaged bolts...

 

You could go the D-Ring shackle route thats what I'm planning

This is the best option looks-wise. I only cut mine because I was able to round them out with the Dremel and my bullbar hides almost all of it anyway.

 

Make some inserts, just drill holes in some 1/8 or 3/16" steel to fit and weld nuts on and done.

 

i put a set on my 2wd. got them off an excursion at the junk yard for tem bucks. bought the 4x4 valance and it looks clean.

 

I always liked the Roush lower valance myself.
