Jeep TJ tow hook torx

Post by turnbull »

Does anyone have the proper size torx used on the front/rear tow hooks for a TJ?

Could I borrow them in a few days? I should be getting my tire carrier/brush guard soon.

No, I live in Christiansburg.

I have classes from 8-10 M,W,F
and 11-130 T,H

I will put them in my Jeep so they will be with me. Unless you want to come here and get them? Also, I do have air tools and a full tool box if you want to install here?

Let me know.

Yea I will probably do that because I don't know how much torque I will need. I will let you know when the parts come in.

Just got confirmation that it will be coming in today, but I don't know when so I might not be able to do it today. If it comes in early enough, I will text you to see if you are available today or some other time.

Nice!!

I work at 4:45 today and 3:45 tomorrow so thats kind of limiting. But:
Wednesday anytime after 10:30 (out of class at 9:55 if you want to follow)
Thursday after 1:20 until 5:45(work at 6:15)
Friday after 10:30 until 3:30(work at 4:15)

Well it was dark when it was installed, and it is a black brush guard on a black TJ, so I'll have to get pics tomorrow.

After working on this project for 3 days, I finally finished. Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. And now that everything is installed, I can't open the rear window on the hard top.

I'd love to upload a photo, but I can't get it to work.
