No, it not strong enough, nor safe.

You need a Factory original rear tow point or a Class III hitch.

That isn't strong enough for holding my dogs leash.

That HANDLE might be good for pulling yourself out from under the jeep, durning maitenance. But dangerous for rescue of any kind.

A rear hitch is the best method, and can sometimes be found in the junkyard for pretty cheap. But if not e-trailer sells them fairly cheap. The sheet metal you are trying to use will rip out easily if you try to tow, or be towed with it.

The bracket was on my Cherokee. The diagram is from the Factory Service Manual. I installed a Class III hitch, it is stronger.
