Useful thing, however — logbook Toyota Corolla Levin 1998

    Toyota Corolla Levin 16 1998

Bomex bumper is good, but… a bit impractical

Once I was driving around the city and saw a typical situation - one car is towing another. Immediately the thought came to me - I need to somehow call in an auto shop and get myself a tow rope and high-voltage wires for every "fireman", you never know. but after a second I thought — "and what to cling to this fucking cable?" )) The fact is that the bumper now closes the factory ring, and even if you remove the mesh on one side, then there is a high probability that the bumper will come off or burst with careless towing. Therefore, having seen enough pictures with "drift" "Plums", "Marks", etc., it was decided to make ourselves the same device as they have - a towing eye extension, Pro.Shprot))) (we can't find another one here).
I went to the store, ordered, left an advance payment and a month later (they took 10 days) she came. A box with a bunch of junk I don't need for fasteners. Went to the garage and started mastryachit. It was already in the evening, I worked under artificial lighting - well, nothing good came of it: I cut the hole in the grid crookedly, I didn’t really fix the eyelet, in short, hastily!
In the morning I looked at it all and immediately went to redo it, but everything that came of it is up to you)

PS: the bad head does not give rest to the hands, and yet I didn’t break off and went to redo the red arrow.) I’m calm right now.

Convenient solution! But it seems to me that due to the fact that the eye is tilted, under load it can drop and break the bumper! Get her higher!

I do not think that someone's eye will be even lower. Usually, it is even higher (at the towing).

I agree, well done. my car is in service, full of paint, in parallel they will sculpt like that!

Now at the expense of this arrow I think. — I don’t even like it) I think it can be moved closer to the eyelet and shortened a bit? and so I pasted because there I have a chip on the bumper)

+1 to Yura. Hi, I just think it won’t come :), but it can burst a bit. Directly, without tilt, you need to put it

down it will be bent at the first towing, with a jerk it will lift your face and hello to the bomex, it should be welded to the TV frame somewhere

It is necessary to put it directly on a loved one, it is not worth attaching it to the ears, it is definitely necessary to weld it! ..

The thickness of the metal of this crap is 5-6 mm, quite strong. Yes, and I pulled it divinely the second time when I took it apart. I put the huge washers that came with the kit. Bolt with finger.

In general, it would be better if she did not come in handy at all.)

Posted a couple of new photos from the summer "piece of iron in action." really helped out that day)
I ordered from ProSport, because. no one else had. And right now, you can drag a new one from the auction, cheaper and prettier.

PS: a little expensive for an ear 1700. if possible, do it yourself and paint it.
