Toyota OEM Rear Recovery Hook (Part number # PT974-89251-03 and PT974-89251-AA)

I've heard the nytop one referred to as a recovery spatula and cannot unsee it. Also it sticks out way too far and may bend the frame when you get rear ended.

I feel seen.

That recovery spatula is something. Exhaust looks great though.

Good point

I noticed a few folks in this thread say to use blue loctite when installing the rear recovery. I bought a pair of Wescott Designs front recovery points for the TRD and their installation video says to use red loctite. Any opinions here on whether blue or red is better for a recovery point?

Red is more secure and as one will not be removing the recovery points (most likely) then I would think red would be better

I can’t seem to be able to order it in Canada.
There is no option for shipping to Canada, only US.
Anyone has a way around that so I can order one as well. Just got a 2026 TRD-ORP

If the part is currently only available in the States (Rear Tow Hook or Door Edge Gaurds that I wanted) it cannot be ordered from a Canadian Dealer. Only options for us is to order from American dealers through Ebay or local pickup when your in the area. It will cost you almost $200 CDN, including shipping, for the hook on Ebay right now.

Reuse bolts and I just used what the front called for, 87Nm (64ft/lbs) torque.

Per:
https://toyotaparts.sparkstoyota.com/install/PT974-35250inst.pdf

Torque to 70Nm (51.6 ft/lbs)

I ordered the part and it came without instructions. Went to my local Toyota and they printed out the instructions for me. That's what the instructions say.

I don’t get why there isn’t a second hook in the back. I have an old wood canoe and you want two tie downs in the front and two in the back to secure it best. I can tie down to the hitch but a second hook would be much better.

I just use the hitch.
