I think the double-sided tape is to hold the bezel while you tighten the bolts down. I tried with the non-OEM bezels and they just popped out. I ordered Mopar bezels to replace these but they haven't showed up yet. The Mopar ones will click in vs. the Chinesium ones.
Thanx for the comment @bammerbiff1621. Hope others will try that technique. I will be doing a video from Mexico using the tow hooks for a pull. Stay tuned! 😎MM
I just bought a '23 with no tow/recovery hooks. Get this, I ask the dealer about installing a pair for me. No, they can't do it. Well, ok, now I'm wondering about what the long-term relationship with the dealer is going to be like. It defies logic that all 4x4 trucks don't come with these hooks. I'll be installing mine very soon before winter arrives. Thanks for the informative video.
Thanks for the great comment boblinda. Yah… don’t get it either. I know the 2022 limited Ram did come with tow hooks. I’d be definitely chocked with that dealership. I did inquire thru my dealership about ordering and installing. They quoted me almost double the cost for the hooks more than what I paid for thru Amazon and of course an install fee. No thanks! Went ahead and proceeded on my own install. Glad the video helped! 😎MM
They probably get sick of the reaction when people hear how much they charge for parts and labor when you can get the parts and install them yourself so easily and reasonably. I bet the dealership would charge 3 times or more what they cost on Amazon….
Why does everyone take out the long bolt with hammering? You could just get it loose and slide the tow hook into it. Just cut the bushing so you can slip it over the bolt.
Thanks for the comment Phil. Wished it was that easy. My video would have been shorter. That portion of the tow hook does not slide onto the long bolt. Also, the Hex Head of the bolt does not go through the hole of the tow hook. Needs to be removed. As per instructions included in box. 😎MM
Thanx for the comment valsahr5836. That’s not what the instructions had mentioned. Even watching other VLOGs on similar tow hook installs showed the similar process. Thanks for watching too! MM 😎🇲🇽
Thanks for the comment James. I know the Limited did. Not sure about the Rebel, tradesmen and others. My Laramie was brand new. They wouldn’t even throw into the deal. 😢MM, lol.
@@mmagscott Thanks for the comment. Hope you enjoyed the video. Yes, seems strange. 2022 Laramie in Canada does not have tow hooks installed.Not sure about USA. It seems like Ram is eliminated a few trim items every year. 😂. The 2023 Laramie does not come with exterior wheelwell trim, but my truck did. 😎MM
