2012 Tahoe LS

[blondie70]

Great Forum and I am learning a lot about my Tahoe. One thing I have not seen mentioned is the holes in the front of the "bumper cover" that are down even with the fog lites. These holes line up with the frame rails. Looks like there is something that goes in these, but don't know what. Can anyone tell me what fills these holes up/goes in there ?
Thanks, Pete

Tow hooks can be mounted there.

Mine came with them - like sparksalot PPV. Visit your local salvage yard to locate a set of your own...Fresh coat of bright paint can "fancy it up"

Thanks gents. How do the tow hooks attach ? Looks like a blinded off frame rail under there to me ??? Thanks again (mine is 2wd)

should bolt into the frame-maybe your salvage yard will still have the hooks/bolts

they bolt on from the side of the frame, there are chrome ones available on the market or standard black or paint as desired, new ones or even used should come with the 2 bolts per side.

I have a set I took off theothertwin, but no pics of the frame handy. The frame on yours should already have the holes drilled and ready.

OK. I see how now. I need to crawl under it tomorrow and see about those holes in the frame....I have not noticed them as of yet. Thanks for the ebay info...got 'em watchlisted...Pete

Jeebus, the seller is proud of those.

that's about the lowest price on ebay for used ones at the moment anyway, I think I paid like $55 for my chrome ones and sold my black ones for $30 but that was a good while back.

The price fluctuates a lot. I don't see how they'd ever pull $60 for a used set. Probably be $20 max from a U-Pull-It.

I would definitely try a salvage yard or self service yard. They can be removed easily in 5 minutes. Good investment if you have a rear wheel drive and live where it snows. Grab the plastic snap in pieces that hide the hardware while you are there.

I got some ordered on e bay. $51 delivered. OEM parts. Man, those covers for these are $$$$$$$$ too ! Don't have any yet.

I used aftermarket covers on my 2014 PPV. They are much less expensive and worked just fine. You really don't see them with everything installed unless you are lying on the ground in front of the truck.
