- Here's is my sad attempt at explaining how I installed my front tow hook on my Lancer GT. It's pretty easy to understand and not that hard to do. Difficulty rating 3.245/10

Dude, your video helped 0%, nothing but words, any way, I just did this today in under 2 hours, drilled through the white foam, then the crash beam, then used a 12mm bolt with washers and spacers, added a reinforcement plate behind the crash beam for much more added strength, looks great, and is 100% functional, and I only have the lancer DE
Hey dude, i just found out my mazda has a tow cap on the rear but styrofoam is there. Can you send me the links of what you used so i can do it?
OK, so I have a video that sort of explains, find it under "mitsubishi lancer tow hook front and rear", basically, you have some white foam, behind that you will find the crash beam (metal) you will have to drill a hole through the foam and crash beam, then try to measure the distance needed in order to buy a long enough bold to do the job, most tow hooks accept a 12mm bolt, Lowes has them at different lengths, so you get is slightly longer than you need, use some big washers to back it up or make it shorter, and then just screw in the tow hook. However, if you are thinking about the back, you might want to install a rear tow hook, which is different and does not require all that drilling, just bolting on under the bumper, if you send me the info of what year and model you have, I can find out what will work, good luck.
Im glad I roll down here before wasting 7 minutes in my life lol
Good lmao
Loved the Idea
you should do a tutorial on how to remove the chrome ring .
hey man just wanna ask where did you buy the sticker/decal on the hood? i wanted to put something like that on my Lancer GT :D
Hey brother, basically the tow hook comes with the rod with threads for you to scew the hook onto. its too too long so my father cut it for me. if you cant get that done you can buy a bolt from home depot and screw the hook onto that. Please like and subscribe if it helped :)
+iam Jamez Hey brother, it was on the hood already when I bought it, its called The Spirit Of Competition. You can find it on ebay pretty cheap
ARE THOSE COVER ON THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS? OR DID YOU JUST PAINT THEM?👋
How did you loosen the tow hook to move freely mine stiff is there some screw to loosen it up on the hook
allen key will loosen it up.
Why is my tow hook stiff, the black part is just stiff so it does lay flat, do you know what I can do ? Or what tool I need ?
an allen key should loosen it up, or completely remove the round part from the shaft if you unscrew it all the way.
Ik I am late but bro where did you get your stickers
where did you get your hood?
off an Evo
What kinda rain guards are those?

Wow
What size bolt?
used the one that came with the hook, just sawed the fat part off that didnt have thread
have you secured it? so people don't try to steal it? I know in states scum bags try to steal tow hooks
its pretty secured.
If i may ask, how do you secure a tow hook?
by actually drilling through the crash beam and bolting it down so that it is fully functional, unlike what this clown tyy did.
All Lancers have two tow hooks under the car at the front anyways.
why does his Mitsubishi Lancer have a Honda sticker on the side window? weird.....
Mr. Tormentor It says Honda Killer
Ricer, because you told me to. If you're gonna make a video at least have the tools ready. A key is not a tool. If you're doing videos for the view/ers then at least show some effort. Trying to open the thing with a key and at the end never showing anything is not showing effort.
I did the same thing today in about 2 hours, drilled to the crash beam, used a 12mm bolt, with some spacers, and washers, and a reinforcement plate behind the crash beam, looks awesome and is 100 % functional, but this guy is the worst at making videos that are supposed to "show" you how to make stuff.
Just awful
and he could have just pulled the tow hook and bam out it comes lol
What a wuzz!!! (-.-,)
thx bro
Yosiboi
you cant deny it tho, thats rice af to have a non functional towhook. its like a worthless rice version of rice, imitating track. just wow
this tyy guy obviously does not have too much in the way of mechanical skills, I drilled through the crash beam and had a fully functional front and rear tow hook in less than 2 hours.
hey bro, i think your skinny jeans are on too tight.. do you even vape bro? you cant have a man bunn if you dont vape..
ummmm, okay?
ummmm, okay?
Bro what a waste
