I have a 2012 F-150, it has two hooks on the front, will I have to remove these to fit this bar?

You have to remove the tow hooks to install this. It bolts on where those are.
1539759
yes you will have to remove the hooks because the bar mounts where the hooks bolt on

I have those same hooks but I don't know the answer to your question because I haven't had a chance to put mine on yet sorry

Yes, you will need to remove the factory hooks. That is where the brackets for the bull-bar connects.

No. The brackets are bent to fit on any bar, round or flat, but the openings are only 2" across. The rack on my truck is made out of 2" tubing and I had replace the bracket bolts with longer ones in order for it to work.

I'm not sure. I just looked at our car, and the front bar seems a little wider than the rear. Do you have the installation instructions? If not, you might be able to find them online.

Thank you for you interest in doing business with us! After doing some research we have came to the conclusion that these bars are made to fit 1980-1996 Ford F-150/250/350 Super cab trucks. We hope we can earn your business on this product and many more in the future. Thanks again! Perry ACME 1-866-992-3669

When attached to the wall there is about 3/8 inch space between it and the back of the bar; the bar and mounts protrude about 1½ inches. The hooks add another 1 3/4 inch of depth. They can be removed by pulling off one of the removable end pieces and sliding them off. Note that there are ONLY 6 hooks, I had to buy several of these so I could strip them off an extra hanger and add them to the others. There really should be AT LEAST 10 hooks on each unit but the manufacturer doesn't sell extras; I asked!

I do not need the third bar in my vehicle I have a Subaru forester. You might need a third bar if you had a very wide space or if your seats are down. The two it comes with are fine for my car.

Part #19159115 is the front pair of black tow hooks. Pleas let me know if you have any other questions.Have a great day!Chuck Hutton Automotive Outlet

They seem to be pretty universal. They just screw on inside the wheel well. Love them on my 2012 f150. Got the front and back done. I have running boards and they fit just fine.

You have to remove them to put the light bar on but you can still use the tow hooks. The light bar uses two of the existing holes from the tow hooks. I went to napa auto parts and bought 4 longer bolts to secure the tow hooks and the light bar together. It is a pain to install if you are doing it by yourself. Bolts are not the easiest to get to. But it looks and works great.

I agree with the first responder: These hooks should fit most headrest bars. They are U-shaped with a 1-1/8" space inside the U. Just slip them around the headrest metal bars and you have a hook. I've had problems with the tips breaking off, but it doesn't matter to me. Might have to wrap some tape around the ends if they're sharp.

I think it depends on the trim level of the truck mine is an FX4 and simply cutting the existing grille out would not have been enough to make a clean fit. I ended up completely removing the outer shell from the factory grille. There are tabs that snap the two together. You lose a few of the mounts for the factory shell but I have not had any issues. I mounted the aftermarket grille to the frame that holds the factory grille. You will need additional hardware the way I did it but I don't think the instructions provided will work for all models unless I completely misunderstood them. Also the way I did it you actually don't have to cut anything. You will have to drill holes in the frame though I think it depends on the trim level of the truck mine is an FX4 and simply cutting the existing grille out would not have been enough to make a clean fit.

My pickup is a 2010 F-150 Platinum Super Crew...it doesn't have front bumper sensors on it so I'm not able to answer your question. Sorry.

No, all necessary brackets should be included with your rack and will mount on to almost all factory roof bars. GL and enjoy your rack :)

You do have to remove the tow hooks but they mount back on top of the light bar brackets. However if you regularly use the tow hooks you might consider another bar because this does impede access to them...I might be concerned about damage to the bar if using the tow hooks for a recovery operation.

You will need to buy the "S" hooks separately. Here is the link to the ones I bought- they fit and work perfectly (http://amzn.to/1iiupEb)

I purchased this for a 2011 F 150 4X4, the front end looks the same but I don't really have an answer for you. I hope you get an answer. Best wishes, Allen...
