Searching is killing me

[aaronrules]

This internet makes it impossible to get any kind of research done. Does anybody know of any Bull Bars that mount in the tow hook holes and NOT under the bumper? Or any kind of grill/bumper guard that mounts in the tow hook holes?

And sorry for being so naggy with questions, but this is basically what I have to do for 12 hours while I'm at work in Crapistan...other than the work part...I try to find stuff for the TB. But this internet makes me wanna actually use M-16!!!

I used to have the Waag... I think it's what you're looking for.

Yeah that's what I wanted but the bar will only go through the tow hooks up to 2005 ,2006 wont fit at least that is what waag told me....Waag is where it's at it's a good product. Although you can find other brands that will do the same thing if cost is an issue

Cost is most definatly an issue. I see this part as mostly looks. There is some use for it, but you aren't going to use a brush/grill guard to pull anybody out, or get pulled out. so the cheaper the better.

I like the way WAAG looks, but I can't drop that kind of dough right now, as I am trying to scratch together enough to get the spare tire carrier that James has on his.

FYI, thats what WAAG told me too, but I wanted to have one on my rig and wasn't going to do one that mounted under the bumper. Found one cheap on eBay and jumped on it, figuring that my buddy could help me mod it if need be.

It mounts fine thru the tow hook holes, just the bumper coverand grill sre different so it doesn't look as perfect as it would on the older style bumper but it works. Only modding I had to do was a little cutting of the grill mesh so the upper mount would bolt up...

Trying to find something out there. I see the WAAG, but I refuse to believe that they are the only ones that make THE only guard that mounts in the tow hook holes.

The pictures won't come up for me here. Are there any pictures that show this mounted in the tow hook holes?

[MrSmithsTB]

Nope. That is going to mount underneath the bumper cover. A traditional bull bar is most likely only going to mount that way. The brush guard(such as waag) goes through the tow hook outlets on some brands.

Most people get a brush guard for looks, but i got the wag for strength. I use my waag quite often, alot in the winter for pushing cars out of snow banks and moving immobile cars around at friends houses and shops. Personally i think the waag is one of my most used additions onto the tb.

[Mooseknuckle]

I agree Foosh,I just wish Waag made one for 2006 TB.

As Janesy said, it's just a matter of making a couple extra cuts in your grille in order to attach the upper connectors.

Tom, have you checked your upper mounting screws? Mine bent due to the forces of pushing other vehicles... I was kinda disappointed. I think maybe those screws should be upgraded to higher strength bolts.

You do know it still mounts to the radiator supports, right? The same radiator supports that Roadie bent on his, and locked up the fan.

Looks like it is going to be either a rear spare tire carrier (like JD's) or a WAAG...don't know which one to get first!

[Philberto]

Rear spare... safety first and better MPG is a bonus.

I've been leaning that way. Because as it is now, I will have to put the full size spare in the cargo area...not very condusive to bringing home groceries!

Back seat is for groceries. Rear is for the "live out of your vehicle for a week in case of earthquake" supplies.
