🏎️ DEWHEL JDM Racing Aluminum Front Tow Hook for Scion FR-S BRZ Impreza WRX Sti Toyota 86 - Black Review

Broken on first use. Hardly pulled the car and it broke down. The screw that goes into the car was cheap and broke. It would be nice to find a replacement.

Used as the bow/stern attachment point for my kayak. Had an accident and used it to put my wrx on a flatbed. Ring stretched on first use. The threads broke the second time.

Subaru models aren't designed for the adventurous, but they don't have space to attach kayaks and canoes. That works great! It may or may not work as a restore point, but that's not what I bought it for.

Terrible product. The hitch became detached from the tongue within 4 feet of being towed. If this product is to be used on a track, it will eventually kill the track worker. However, when the hook sheared, its sling shorted out over 100 feet with enough force to punch a hole in a wooden fence.

This item is beautifully finished. The blue anodized hinge looks particularly good. Haven't actually tried towing or towing a car with it, but it seems strong enough to withstand it. Be sure to apply anti-seize to the threads if you leave it in the car as the hitch on the car is steel and the stem is aluminum. FWIW, the same 16M x 1.5 thread is used on other cars including the Ferrari 360, 430 and 458.

The front bumper is about 2 inches longer but the rear is perfect. You need two sizes. I only use them to attach a kayak. get stuck, steel mill returns. To update. I shortened the front by a centimeter. Ring thread 12mm x 1.75. I just found a hole saw with the same ID as the 12mm thread and cut flush with a rotary cutter. Then I simply recut the 12mm x 1.75 thread. The last two photos show the finished product.

The first goal of any product should be: Does it work? In this case the answer is no. Imagine wintering in North Dakota, where there is a lot of snow and cold enough to keep you from looking under your car for a tow point. I installed them so I could connect quickly and get out of any ditch I could find. Unfortunately, the aluminum threaded rod broke under little to no stress. So I had to dig under the car. If the bar had been steel, this probably wouldn't have happened.

I use them on my kayaks and they are perfect for increasing the distance between the brackets and the trunk/hood of your car (I had enough space, I didn't need a towel or anything else on the hood or upper body to avoid rubbing). The nut makes it fully adjustable. People who say it's too short or too long must never have used an adjusting nut? You have about 2.5-3 inches of free play to turn the hook the way you want it. I highly recommend it if you use them for basic ties. I can't say anything
