Tow hooks

No. If you still have the plastic “Jeep” cover, then you need to cut some U’s in that to clear where the tow hooks will sit. Or buy a cut version of the cover from eBay or something. Here’s an example of that:


The two hooks use two bolt holes per side. One hole is the front hole that the bumper is using, the other hole is in the frame under the Jeep cover. Other than clearancing the cover, you just need a set of hooks and a set of bolts. I like these for the bolts:


Hooks you can find on eBay. I’d recommend stock hooks if you have a stock bumper, because the stock hooks have a step in them so they can straddle the raised portion of
the bumper and the lower portion of
the frame.

And if you can't find the stepped ones, just put a washer under it to level it up.

Also an option. Need to use the thick flat washer option for it to be acceptable. There was one specific washer at my store that was a close match to the step.

it all worked out . pulled the jeep cover off and there was 2 threaded holes . ran a tap thru to clean the threads . the front bumper bolts had to be heated to get them loose . trimmed the jeep filler plate a got some washers to level the hooks out . easy job looks good . thanks for your input .
