for the hooks you can check out rc4wd.com and for the d-rings you can check out jpcustomrc.com or you could just post a wanted ad

Lots of hooks available nowadays, RC4WD has them and several vendors here on the site are making excellent scale hooks.

D-rings are a different story, they're much harder to locate. I made myself 2 to get by with (after snapping the plastic ones on the Pro-Line bumper) from 1/8" brass rod bent into a "U" shape, with "ears" made from 1/8" brass sheet soldered on. They're functional and strong, they just leave a little to be desired in the looks department:

I pulled the trigger on 2 pairs of these recently:

Problem is, they're coming from Hong Kong. And they're obviously on a slow boat, I paid for them 2 weeks ago.
I usually don't order from the far east, but in this case these are the best options I could find anywhere, and if they end up going missing or something I'm only out 22 bucks.

When/If they show up (and turn out to be worthy) I'll post up a link to the ebay vendor...

They showed up today, and they were well worth the wait.

These are about as perfect as it gets...

RC4wd makes both hooks and shackles, Scale offroad makes both as well. I have both brands. Personally I thing the Scale offroad are closer to 1/10th scale then the RC4wd ones.
