Croostrek owners, check your trunks ( where emergency wheel is ) These cars already come with a tow hook. Though not with a fancy color and just one, you can definitely use in case of an emergency.
@Jake Colbert well ill be a son of a... never realized that's what that was lol
@@mackenziemuldoon5206 You aren't alone; many people don't. When I'm out patrolling during a snow storm, and when it comes to cars, I look for European cars to assist because they usually come equipped with these. In the rear of my own vehicle, however, I prefer a D-ring for the hitch. Connected to the frame, it's much stronger, centered, and allows greater side stresses.
Thank you.
Would be awfully easy for someone to steal. Dang it......
So a few years back I bought these two hooks and after installing a WARN from bumper sold the one I had for the front...but kept the rear one in place. Last weekend I was stuck stuck...had to use my winch, broke my cable and had to be winched out from the back Raceseng tow hook. It performed flawlessly... Thanks again for this video... 🎉
Order mines as soon as I saw this vid for my 2019 crosstrek, just arrived today and I have to say the craftsmanship that goes in this product is phenomenal. Will definitely buy more products from this company. Thanks for the vids .
Damnnn dropping mad videos thooo ! Straight chillin
Just bought a 2018 crosstrek and it’s awesome! Feels and looks great. These videos are perfect for me (I hike and climb and camp a lot) This is exactly what I needed so thank you ❤️
just picked up a 2019 a few days ago. love it, ive been watching these videos all year. i plan on doing all the same mods as you. thanks man. post some new updates.
Whips looking dope man can't wait to see the next install
Your videos are super clean. Showing my friend who is in love with his STI your channel for sure
Great videos on the Crosstrek. I just got a 2019 and your videos were a big factor in the decision.
That’s some smooth looking hooks man! The color pops on your car. Hope you never have to “put them to good use”
I said it a couple weeks ago it's these small accents that are making this build so dope. Also gopro mount on a recovery point, I approve! Gotta look into these guys.
I have a 14 crosstrek and live in Minnesota, I would love these for mine!!!
Love it. It is a good day when you post a new video😁
Great vids. I found your channel looking for 2018 crosstrek stuff. Like the firearm vids too. Keep that sh** coming dude!
Ps love those tow hooks. May need a set.
I love your Subie videos! These video's are gold!!!!
Pro job, love that you drilled the covers out. Looks clean on the car
I’ve got the rondure powder coated weighted knob from raceseng and also the reverse lockout from them. Loooove their stuff. 👍🏻
Flippen sick build bro. Keep it up!
Drilling a hole in the access panel was a brilliant idea! I'm going to do this with a LP relocator
it just keeps getting better
Ordered that trayvax wallet that you shouted out a few days ago. And just got it today. I’m already loving it. Good quality wallet for sure.
Exactly the type of video I needed, much obliged.
Raceseng is definitely a great company. I’ve had the opportunity to work with them when I was at Fastenal. They demand quality American made comments and lubricants and are extremely passionate about what they do.
Thanks for the video. Helped extremely with my install.
Dude, you have seriously made me want a Crosstrek
For anyone trying to put this on their crosstrek themselves as I did: you have to make sure the hole in the cover is big enough for the nut to fit into, which will be bigger than the imprint given by the chalk. Otherwise the nut will not be tight enough to tow securely without denting the cover piece. Still, the chalk idea is a good way to center the hole. Also, the wrench needed to tighten the nut is so big I recommend buying the tool that comes with this product. I scratched my nut trying to do it without that tool as well.
Subaru, never considered but after watching i think this is a practical cool rig after your mods can't wait to see what you do next
That's a clean looking set up. Nice set of Method 502 VT-Specs you got there.
Im actually buying my 2019 crosstrek tomorrow and im so excited. I cannot wait to install these tow hooks onto it once i get it and hoping thay have it, installation is simple enough that i can do it myself. and youre only a state away! so excited and cannot to see the transformations
How is the new car coming?
2019 limited picked up today:)
I just bought a 19’ crosstrek as well. Love it. Although instead of paying $330 for 2 tow hooks, check out amazon. You can buy 2 hooks for $19.99. 9,500lb rating. The crosstrek comes with 1 tow hook pin already in the spare tire area. Just order another OEM pin for about $20 or less and boom... you got 2 tow hooks for less than $50 including shipping. Versus $330.00. Sure, those ones in the video may be “higher quality” but in the end, they are both steel hooks and have nearly the same tow rating.
Ryan Schwinghammer i can’t find the 9,500 lb rated ones?
These look sick! I think I'm going to add them!
I have also a 18 fully loaded crosstrek before I saw this video I just bought a SSD light bar can't wait to install it and the tow hooks
Nice work on the install 👌🏽
That Crosstrek is lookin dope!
Sweet set up, I want some for my 23' wilderness outback
Great mod. I should be ordering my 2019 Crosstrek next month. I will have to see if I can get these in Canada!
Have a Subaru Outback can't wait to get these on.
definitely going over to raceseng to pick something up ive been looking for high quality tow hook i subbed to because your different from all the other traveller youtubers out there.
Looks awesome! I followed your advice and looked them up. I'll be buying some.
$165 each? So $330 total? Holy wowowowowow. That seems insane. I get it’s high quality... but that’s a lot of money for tow hooks.
No kidding!!!
My concern would be getting them stollen.
@@upondeathwish Same...not wise parking in a big city or public parking.
is it tho?
I would definitely purchase one of these. You sold me on the integrity of the company and the build of the product. I own a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek XV. I am going to start customizing it soon. Consider me Subscribed.
I am definitely buying these, I also like that they give military / veteran discount. WRX/STI Rear for both
Just stumbled across your channel. Love the content and am actually considering a crosstrek as my next daily. Keep up the great work! 100% subbing :)
+Nico Ludden Thanks Nico, welcome to the channel 👊🏻
Sweet video - Very well made
Yes please I’d like a set of them. Please keep the videos coming.
Bro, those look sweet! Got a 2018 Crosstrek and would definitely install these on mine
I saw the video you did driving in the snow yesterday night and commented about the tow hooks. I am going to be getting those in graphite. I have a 2015 xv same color as your crosstrex.
Hey I enjoy watching your videos and I am always trying to add to my 16 crosstrek to make it unique. I don't think I waited long enough into the future but I am truly interested in getting a set of these for my crosstrek.
dang i love that.. i partnered with Jarrett for my shift knob.. i would love these on my WRX.. you remind me a lot of myself in your techniques. i love the idea of keeping the cover also. i want these....
I've got the same color Xtrek as yours . Im definitely getting these !
My 2013 Mazda 3 owners manual calls those tiedown eyelets. They are stored under the trunk with the jack, lug wrench, jack handle, and spare tire. I believe they are used to keep the vehicle secured in place when in transit.
I would love this for 2018 crosstrek
Thank you for holding those small pieces in front of your hand so we can actually see them clearly!😜
I would definitely get these for my '18 Crosstrek.
I've got a 2013 Crosstrek and would buy these as my dive into car accessorizing/modding!
I have 2018 CrossTrek and would love to my hands on those tow hooks
Those would be great for my '18 Crosstrek
Great videos
Just what I'm looking for! hope they post to Australia.
Just bought my 2018 Crosstrek in the Sunshine Orange color. Would love to see their tow hooks in white, may buy a pair in the future and spray paint them. Would be a nice contrast.
Just got a ‘17 and would love to add these on!
Love your new car
Thanks man. I ordered a set for my 2019 Crosstrek today, 05/31/21.
I just did the paperwork on my 2018. It will be delivered in three days (a woman drove away with the one I wanted as I pulled into the dealer lot!). I need all these mods!
I ended up going on a roadtrip to get mine for dealership invoice...in the car for 5hrs but had what I wanted for $1500 less than local. Have had it since the last week of september and loved every minute.
@@feedtheagle6851 Sounds like a worthwhile road trip:) My fun starts tomorrow picked up 2019 a few hours ago:)
You Make Awesome Videos
Talon i have been watching your gun videos and was excited when you purchased a crosstrek. I just purchased an orange 2018 crosstrek and have been looking for some mods and additions to do. I would definitely be interested in these tow hooks. 😀
Raceseng is top notch. I have it in my 86
I did the same thing with my cover....good thinking man
I've got a 2014 and would love to get some great tow hooks, just preferably in black or blue
For anyone looking to get these: if you have the factory towing package, you can't install a tow hook/shaft in the rear. The supporting brackets block the shaft receptacle.
Be very careful using the provided tool; use it on the very end of the bolt. Otherwise (as I found out), it can very easily gouge the plastic cover.
Other than that, seems to be a great quality product, and looks good.
Let me get this right, does the video at the end suggest that we buy 2 x rear end assemblies? As the rear is sakes as the front?
The tow hooks are really expensive, but the drilling lesson for me the tow hook cover is worth gold!
Was looking at these to be installed on my 2020 Toyota c-hr crossover. I’m already ordering a shift knob and looking at their spitfire lug nuts. Just unsure of my thread type want it in a custom color design either in city lights or galaxy finish
I need it I do alot of tails at factory height putting new wheels and lift in January or February.
Crosstreks are made about two hours from me, in layfayette IN. My 2020 WRX however is made in Japan
Got a 2018 Limited and totally want a set.
I'll be getting a 2018 Crosstrek Premium with a manual transmission in May. I will look for a set of these tow hooks. Thanks.
They look cool
I'm planning on getting a 2018 crosstrek, but i'd be down to get that towhook. it looks really nice. I wonder if they ship to Canada.
I have a 2014 crosstrek. I love it. I’d really like to replace my halogen lights with leds. Is that possible?? Love to tow hooks. Gotta get some of those.
I just bought my 2019 crosstrek. I’m having a hard time finding light bars or grill guards, tow hooks, and rear bumper bars
I’d love to see these built for the Crosstrek, especially since my second car isn’t great in the winter months and I may need to pull it out
Great video and a good job on installing the tow hooks. Been watching your videos for awhile. Just brought a 2020 Crosstrek, it's white pearl. I like the tow hooks idea. I would like to know if they make some for a 2020 Crosstrek. 🤔👍
Will buy them today if they are available!!
Most definitely want to buy some for my wife's Crosstrek!!!
A receiver hitch in the rear with a bow shackle would do similar for similar $, but also allow you to mount a bicycle rack, mount a small cargo rack, or pull a light trailer. You might even be able to use a small multi-mount winch with it.
The OEM recovery ring could be used in the front.
I don't think there's a front receiver offered for Crosstreks, so using the multi-mount winch up front might not be practical.
That looks sweet. Is the threading the same on the 2014 CrossTrek? That's what I have and have used the stock one several times. Thought about doing something like this.
These look way nicer than the OE towing hook / eye bolt that is included. I am not saying that you shouldn't run these full time but the Crosstrek manual states that if you don't remove them after towing they could interfere with airbag deployment or fuel cut off switch in a collision.
Top notch! Would be nice to see a factorytour.
don’t even own my own car yet I’m still so entertained by these install videos. also sup with that jacket?
+Logan Platt video coming soon.
Yes I want some of these for my 2014 crosstrek((:
Toothpaste works well as a marking substance as well. Shout out to MCM for that tip.
Love the red accents. Do they make any sort of locking nut or any type of mechanism to keep somebody from easily walking off with one of those? Would suck to have one go missing.
Hi Talon just my personal notes...
I have a 2018 crosstrek 6spd manual, and I've got 1800 miles on it. So far, per tank average, is 31-33mpg, which includes in town, bumper to bumper fwy commuting traffic, and some offroading. I live in So Cal. Slightly downhill to work, and slightly uphill coming home. The 6pd manual is every bit as good on fuel efficiency as the CVT and I'd say I could easily beat its efficiency. It has several ways of monitoring your gas consumption and it's pretty easy to get 35-39mpg on the hwy, going 70mph. Don't gun it all the time, and you'll save a lot of money in gas. I'm not convinced about the hype of the CVT having better gas mileage at all!
It gets super good fuel economy chilling in stop and go traffic. I get about 26mpg in mine around town but have averaged 33mpg on a 500mi trip out into hill country and back. The CVT gets better fuel economy by depriving you of driving style choices. You can drive a manual for economy as much as for fun. If you want to be grandma... and only go 55mph you can average 36mpg... as I did for the first 30mi stuck behind someone on that trip...
I just purchased a 2020 Crosstrek LIMITED in crystal white. I just came from a Jeep Renegade Trailhawk and missing my red accents. I need these! But possibly ORANGE to match the inside stitching.
I've got a 2018 Crosstrek in the same dark grey.
Anyway, I would absolutely buy that set of towhooks if they were available.
Same here! I'd love to have tow hooks
Wait how long have they been on backorder?
Just bought a Crosstrek would love to see these made for it
that looks damn good.
Lookin sick! I might copy this instead of truck or a jeep lol
Your becoming quite the install guy, nice. I like that, I’m a Do it yourself guy too!! That’s why my channel is DJ Project.
Well made video, rare.
Man... that music is killing me! Nice hot-to though! Thanks!
I got the cheap one on eBay looks as good, if i need to really use it the oem one always in the trunk👌
