getting towed...
I have a Fujimura front bumper with a closed grill on the bottom. Can this car be put on a flatbed without being able to access the tow hook locations?!? I just dont want the tow driver to be like, yea this looks like it will work as I look on in horror as pieces of my car rip off...
Thanks! |
Dunno.
The tow hook is there so that you can get around the angle issue of the long, low bumper; the winch on the tow truck will be higher than the lowest point on the bumper, so the strap/cable will pull up on the bumper if they attach to the suspension. If they figure out a way to do it without a tow hook or damaging the front fascia, I'd like to know how they did it for future reference. :) |
probably not, you need access to tow hook, otherwise it will probably break your bumper
|
practice taking the bumper off (no joke) carry a low profile ramp with u.

There's got to be a way to avoid the damage. I mean, there's lots of sports cars with low hanging body work that get towed. Is there a place near the rear end to pull it backwards? Somehow a cheap tube fabrication to attach to the undercarriage could be put together by a weld shop. How about lifting the front end from the sides, carefully using a couple of post Jack's, just enough to push the tow trucks tilted bed under to clear the body interference? Got to be a way.

15 minutes to remove the front bumper and it will save you $$$ good luck |
Should have had a small cutout on the mesh grill when building it out. You don't need a large diameter hole. Or take it from the rear. If low, you will need boards to make it.

I had to cut a small hole in the mesh to access the tow hook, the driver had a ton of wood blocks to get the car both on and off. It was really not fun AT all...thankfully the dealer left the tow hook in the trunk. I hope I never have to do this again!
Thanks for the help |
