Anyone tried these rear tow hooks from Ebay?

Looking for comments on the quality, thickness and quality of the paint.

Better off spending your money on a proper hitch recovery point Like a Yankum 2" Hitch Receiver Recovery point. The NYTOP those are imitating are probably made in the same factory and the NYTOP's actually look pretty bomber. The fleabay ones look a little flimsy. I can't find anywhere on NYTOP's website where they state where their stuff is made so that usually points to made in China, so the ebay one's are probably a carbon copy but the pic's make it seem like the steel is fairly thin on the fleabay's.

I'd spend my money on a hitch recovery point.

Now if they start making imitation NYTOP front recovery points for about $200 that might be a different story.

 

Looking side by side the NYTOP's the NYTOP appear to angle the gusset plate in the orientation of the pull forces rather than perpendicular which will make it stonger. It is very obvious the NYTOP's are a much thicker steel. If I had to use my eyecrometer I would estimate the fleabays at about 1/4" to 3/8" thick and the NYTOP's at about 3/4" thick.





The recovery strap in the fleabay one looks like a seatbelt doesn't it? Kind of funny.

 

Why not a hitch recovery block/shackle and property kinetic rope or strap?

And also buy a kinetic recovery rope while you're at it so you don't snap shit when you pull hard on it?? There are other cheaper ropes on Amazon but Yankum is the gold standard

I always remember a saying my grandfather told me in this situation..."Buy cheap, pay twice!"

 

Good points everyone. The NYTOP rear look cool and are priced at just over $300. The EBAY ones I received an offer for $179.00. Not a huge price difference but I figured that now I am starting to add some mods I was curious if anyone had tried the cheaper knock offs.

Now my first next mod is the Reverse Lights from Diode Dynamics. Debating the SSC1 Pro's vs. the SSC2 Pro's.....hummmm

 

Buy once, cry once!

 

Exactly get a good hitch recovery point and there is no reason for rear recovery points when there is a perfectly good hitch there. The hitch is there so use it. Also each "recovery" point only pulls on one side of the hitch bolts and if you use the hitch then you pull on both sides like it was intended to be used.
