Steck 71490, iBolt Univ Tow-Eye w 6' Safety Strap

I-Bolt is a 2” x 1 ½” loop connected to a 7” long steel shaft with unique gripping teeth that lock into the threaded holes on the front or rear of the vehicle.  Insert the I-Bolt into the threaded hole, ideally behind the nut or the back of the hole, engage the gripping teeth by turning the loop clockwise (while holding the knurled 1 ¾” knob) until the teeth engage behind the nut or in the threaded hole.

I-Bolt is able to fit threaded holes having diameters of ½” up to 1 ¼”.  This unique design provides a universal hook up solution for the 200+ vehicles identified in theTowing and Service Manual from AAA.   Also included is a 6’ x 2” polyester safety strap with a  4” looped end to wrap around the control arm or sway bar and a 3 ½” steel flat snap hook that attaches to the I-Bolt to positively secure the vehicle. The I-Bolthas been certified to pull up to 1,500 lbs. Winch the vehicle until all 4 four wheels are on the bed, and then level the bed. Continue to winch and stop 3-4 ft. short of the winch itself to avoid bending the I-Bolt and damaging the bumper. Once the vehicle is loaded, remove the I-Bolt and secure the vehicle.

NOTE:

• I-Bolt is not a recovery tool, but using it in accordance with manufacturer and AAA
  loading instructions provides a safe loading process and minimizes further vehicle damage.

• Do not use the I-Bolt for securing the load because the additional stress could damage the bumper and
  strip the threaded hole.

Labor/Material Savings:

Quicker loading of disabled vehicles with tow eye holes while preventing further damage by allowing the driver or technician to pull a vehicle on the roll back bed as well as frame racks without having to buy, lug, multiple sizes of tow hooks to match the different threaded tow eyes for each vehicle.
