I am missing my front recovery hooks for my truck. I previously had a bar on the front that I took off a while back. But I can’t remember what I did with the recovery tow hooks that were on there before.

So I’m looking at a set on eBay that I could get for 28 bucks. Both tow hooks with screws. It came off an 02 Pathfinder. Would that work on a 97?

That's a definite maybe. The left and right part numbers for the '97 are different than those for the '02. Pictures I have seen for the '97 parts look like the ones I have on my '02. Indications from Nissan is that the '97 part numbers fit '96-'99 models and the '02 part numbers fit '98-'04 models so there is some overlap for specific variants. However, the '97 is not in that subset so those probably won't fit but maybe they will. Maybe they can be made to fit with a bit of rework. Yep, a definite maybe.
