    Default Wanted: Factory Tow hooks setup for 97 Dakota

    does any one have the factory tow hook setup for a 1997 dodge Dakota.
    This system was a factory option is is near impossible to find.

    I will pay top price for an intact, not damaged or abused setup.

    Pm me if you have one or know of one.

    Maybe some body who has it on their truck and they are getting rid of it.

    thanks,

    Were you able to find something that would work on your truck? I haven't found anyone that makes a front tow hook set up for the Dakota.

    Don't know why it's so hard to find any tow hooks that would work on the front of the Dakota?

    My local Pick n Pull just got a 97 Dakota in. I will put your tow hooks on my list of things to look for on my next visit. Note to self: Start a list of things to look for at Pick n Pull

    Because of the way the frame, bumper cover and such, Dodge made a special bar/bracket that tied the frame rails together with mounts for tow hooks. You cannot just bolt some universal tow hooks to the front of a Dakota. As it was, this Dodge kit was only available for '97-'99 models as 2000 they changed the front steering and frame area.
