Default Where to buy: J-hooks

Trying to tie my car down to the trailer the right way, but can't seem to find these hooks at any of the places I've come up with to look.

Source?

Northern Tool or any Tow Truck supply place.

and I think they are T-hooks that go into the frame

J-hooks might be those big meat type J-hooks that tow trucks use too.

Thanks. I'd been all over ecklers, MA, Jegs, Pegasus, saferacer and a couple "trailer accessories" sites with no luck.

Had to order them. Moved up to Harrogate (Cumberland Gap) a couple months ago.

IMO you want to use "T" hooks. I bought mine through Northern Tool.
