Thank you so much!! 🙏

They're rated with ~41K lbs of break strength. Don't think they'll break that easily. They're heavy and have a good quality feel to them when you hold them. One side had one bolt (I believe passenger side) and the other one had two (if I'm not mistaking).

@@SOBIsHobbies they could be rated for 100k....you cross member is thin metal not meant for recovery

@@SOBIsHobbies There for show and nothing more

@@andywiggens1069 genuine question, so what’s ACTUALLY used for recovery?

🙏😊

Hi. Thank you! At the time truck was riding on its original suspension and tires were 265/70R17. However, later I upgraded my suspension setup on the truck (went with ARB OME 3” lift kit) and tires (285/70R17 33” A/T). Since mine is a long bed Tacoma I felt like it needed a lift as its rear was sagging after putting the camper shell on. Also now truck rides much more planted and feels more stable than it was with its OEM suspension. Which felt more like wobbly and bouncy ride. Thanks for watching!!

I personally wouldn’t.

I believe they do. I see no reason why they shouldn't. Overall frame and body design of these trucks are the same across all trims. The only complication that you may face would probably going to be your plastic air dam piece under your front bumper. And that's just my guess. Otherwise, that may not even be the case. Not only they make the truck look better but also can be useful in some unpredicted situations. Money well spent in my opinion. 😄

Understand that these are not designed or rated for recovery. They are fine for light towing operations and to stabilize the truck for tie down during transport. Using these to execute a snatch recovery is rolling the dice and very unsafe. I’m going to be installing these on my TRD Sport 4X2 in the near future primarily for the looks.

Thank you for watching. I think they look quite well on these trucks. I'm very pleased with the outcome. I say go for it. 😁 Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

@@SOBIsHobbies yessir, thank you 👍🏼

Hi. They’re purchased separately. Here are the links for both items: www.amazon.com/dp/B07XNW9K8Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_6A609PFNGWB7JAEY863R?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 www.amazon.com/dp/B07PGLK9CD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_6302CGD3B2AVW90CNXGC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Have a great day!

Those shackles are universal. I’m sure you should be able to install them on your 2015 Tacoma. However, I’m not so sure about the brackets though. In the description it specifically mentions 3rd generation Tacoma 2016+.

Hi. Those letters actually came already pre-installed on my TRD skid plate. Nonetheless, I do believe they’re also sold separately. But unfortunately I do not know what’s the part number for that set, sorry.

Very good question. To be completely honest, I'm not 100% sure. However, I've seen quite a few Tacomas with these brackets and so far I haven't heard from anyone saying that it damaged their frames. According to the item description they've been thoroughly tested prior manufacturing. Nevertheless, just like anything in life there's always a risk with everything. I did use mine to pull out a tree stump not too long ago and there was no harm done in that instance. Granted it wasn't a big stump. 😊

I guarantee they will tear off the cross member

It’s replacing the oem tow hooks. They are meant to be there, there shouldn’t be any issues other than getting a cheap hook

Hi. Thanks for watching.

@@SOBIsHobbies thank u for replying

@@Steezy.gunz_ Sure, no worries. 👍

I’ll be honest with you, I’m not 100% sure. However, every website and reviews I went to said they’re rated for towing and recovery but don’t say up to what weight. I mean they’re pretty solidly built from the looks and feel. I’m quite sure they’re at very least of the same built quality as the OEM hooks if not stronger. Hope this helps. Thank you!

@@SOBIsHobbies thank you for replying back. I think they look cool and want to put them on but not sure how well they work

@@scooty5403 I see. Well if it helps I was able to use my shackles to pull a palm tree stump out which wasn’t too big not so small either. It held up pretty good. That’s as much pulling I’ve done so far with those shackles and brackets.

Not necessary, imo.

That was back when I first got the truck well over two years ago. Truck does go off-roading but I don’t abuse it because I still need it to drive after off-roading. 😁 Also I keep my vehicles clean (or at least I try to). There’s lot can be said about the person by looking at his ride. 🤙

@@SOBIsHobbies mama said you can tell a lot by a person's shoes.

@@pyrojunkie8350 damn right! 👍😊

I totally understand where you’re coming from. And I do agree they’re mainly for show than function. I’m currently saving for a steel bumper. I’m planning to go with SSO hybrid bumper with winch. Hopefully that’ll help to resolve that concern. 😊

@SOBI's Hobbies good call..I put some apex overland recovery points on my 4 runner they bolt directly to the main frame....but I doubt I would put a bunch of trust in them either. A bumper is the way to go

@@andywiggens1069 yessir. Slowly I want to convert it into more off-road capable rig and start overloading with family.

@SOBI's Hobbies i hear ya unfortunately that's big bucks. I'm just doing my stuff for show. I just have an sr5 4 runner, but am making it look cool

@@andywiggens1069 of course. And trust me it’s not happening for me overnight either. 😊 Times are tough for everyone these days. Just trying to take it slow and work my way. Stay safe brother!

Whe you had several major cuts and lost decent amount of skin on your hands and almost lost a finger you surely try to protect what’s left of your hands. 😁
