Recovery Hook Replacement Bolt

I swear I saw the answer to this somewhere but it now eludes me.  I'm looking to pull off my black hooks and paint them.  I don't really feel like paying $100 for the red ones when I can do it myself for just the cost of a new bolt.  As I understand it and from looking at them, I see where I will have to cut one bolt to remove the hooks.  I'm just wondering what to use as a replacement.  I imagine I could find some comparable galvanized bolt from the hardware store but if I could pick up a direct replacement then that would be great as well.  Anyone know a part number and price?  If not, what did you use as a replacement?

 

Thanks

You don’t need to cut the bolt. Follow this video and you will be fine. Then after I painted mine I turned the bolt around and reused it so I can remove that bolt whenever I want to then

Thanks. I have a 2018 and my understanding from other threads is this won't work with anything past 2016 or so. Am I incorrect?

I can’t answer that but I don’t know how it would be different?  I thought these trucks were all in the same frame etc?  Guess because the bumper is different from my 15 to your 18 might have something to do with it. Guess you need to get under the truck and see. Otherwise it will save you frustration etc by just removing the bumper

I will confirm that my 17 is different.  I added a bull bar and planned on following that video.  All the bolts now face the front of the truck with no clearance to get st them without removing the bumper.  I ended up cutting the one bolt with a hacksaw.  Even more frustrating is realizing that chev could of flipped that bolt around and had no clearance issues.

When you cut the bolt, did you replace it with something?  What was it?

+1 on not cutting it!

 

It took a little bit of muscle, but I was able to get my stock bolt removed and reinstalled just fine. Save yourself the heartache and don't cut it

What year is your truck?

Right.  The method from the video doesn't work on '17-'18 because they changed some bolts as Crazyjoker77 states above.  Everything I've seen says you have to cut the bolt on a '17-'18.

Weekend bump.  Anyone have an answer to this or input on whether I could just get a galvanized bolt of the appropriate size from the hardware store?

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
