First, this will NOT work on a 92-96 with the accordian frame.
The 04-up F-150 Towhooks are very similar as well, if not the exact same pieces.
These are what they look like, I also got the nut bracket from the inside of the F-150 frame:
Front of the frame with the swaybar gone:
You have to enlarge one hole a little bit to get the bolt to go through it:
Then bolt them on.
Passenger side:
Driver's Side
Finished product:
The hooks almost look factory. They are on perfectly straight in that pic, the bumper was off by a little bit when I took that pic but I fixed that afterwards.
I had my friend tow me around my neighborhood and up steep hills to see if they work well and they do!
looks good, only problem i forsee is you will hit them on stuff. but someday when that bumper is gone you can mount them to the side of the frame and that will be :imp:

Yeah I figured when I go custom, I'll have something to hit them on. So far I don't do much that wild, I just wanted these to get unstuck from the mud, rather than getting yanked from the ass via the hitch.
I picked up a pair off a '01 F150 at a local junkyard today, $20, included stock hardware. The brackets were a little rusty and didn't quite fit flush in the boxed frame. I used 1/2" grade 8 nuts and bolts and lock washers along with washers from front and rear swaybar removal. I sanded the hoops with 60 grit and painted with DupliColor truck bed lining. I still have the plastic trim under the bumper, I cut to fit around hooks. Thanks for the suggestion.:beer
Look at your frame and you'll understand.
You have that lame crumple zone crap. All 92-96's do.
The earlier models have a flat bottom side, like Clarko's.
i was going to do something with the froggman approach with the super duty tow hooks turned upward, but i dont think it will look right, so i will wait till i get a bumper.
^^^^exactly what i was talking about. put 'em in front of the crush zone and cut the bumper. you just have to take the bumper off to tighten the bolts since the frame is boxed.
If he pulled hard enough to bend a fully boxed 2-layer '92-96 frame horn (even with the crumple zone), he'd have ripped an older straight frame horn clean off.
Well I have been seeing alot of this come up lately, so I decided to put together this writeup for upgrading the battery wiring system. Total cost for this setup was just over $100. You can find kits to do this on Jegs/Summit and others, but I dont know about the quality of the components...
I have never been good at details but here goes. There is also at great article on this that fourwheeler posted a few years ago. We Boost Our Bronco?s Braking Power With Hydratech?s Hydroboost Conversion Kit
What you get is a choice of three different finishes on the kit but I got the basic...
This is something we all encounter while working on the bronco. There are several things I've learned over the years to avoid breaking them in the first place.
One common situation that bolts break can be found on the water pump. You have a bolt passing thru a bolt hole or boss on the pump...
Okay, so here's another write-up of an easy job, for which there is no write-up.
I just did the "Sixlitre" ignition upgrade and timing bump to my `94 5.0. Here's how:
Start by buying the wires, cap, rotor, and coil. These are the parts for a `94 5.0:
(To be entirely accurate, the wires...
So, apparently on New Year's Day of 2007, I changed my transmission fluid and filter, and took a bunch of pictures. Then I apparently ignored those pictures for a long time, until about July of 2007, when I resized and cropped them. Then I ignored them some more, until tonight, when I uploaded...
