Tow Hooks
« on: December 30, 2010, 12:18:14 AM »
I just bought a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, and I'm not sure about the tow points I've seen mentioned here. I have two big hooks on my front bumper, so I'm assuming that's what those are for.  But what do I look for on the back?  I don't have the towing package, so I'd have to add that first, correct?

Thanks for the info guys!

This is what the stock front tow points look like:  (see first pic)

If that's what you have, you're good to go for front tow points.

This is what the rear one looks like: (see second pic)

Hopefully you have that as well - which would make your rig pretty much set to hit the trails.

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

I see them too.... are you at work goofing off on the computer?


If you have the tow package with a 2" tow hitch on the back then pick up a receiver shackle to go in the hitch.

Hah.  Yes I am goofing around at work, but that wasn't the problem, I can see them now, I think he fixed his post.
