Anyone got pics of where they mount them?

Bump.

Anyone got any info? Did you make a bracket? 99% of you have a bumper with integrated hooks?

Just looking to add safe rear recovery points.

This is for a generic hook. $25 @National $10@Princess or cheaper. The OEM hook/loop mounts to the underside of the framerail. If your rig didn't have factory rear hook dust off the drill. Either OEM or generic... some drilling required. Use grade 8 hardware.

I have a stock TJ rear tow hook. Pulled it off my rubi the day I bought it. $25 or else half price of whatever the stealer ship wants (which ever is cheaper).

Thanks for the tips. I'm thinking this would interfere with the rear shackle? I drive a YJ.

Should clear your leafs fine. I did this on mine, and come to think of it think it was that exact photo used for reference.
