Mopar Tow Hooks any good?
I own Rusty Offroad tow hooks that came off my old laredo but on my plastic fascia of my laredo i had to cut it to make the rusty hooks fit. I now own an 02 limited and i don't want to cut or alter the fiberglass fascia. So i'm thinking of selling my rusty off road hooks and getting MOPAR ones so i don't need to cut or alter my fascia. Just want feedback if the MOPAR ones can get the job done!

They mount upside down but they come with the Jeep. They work.

They work...just not very well. The strap will slip off since they are mounted upside down, and they bend really easily. Ive never broken one, but one of my buddies is almost straight now. lol

I've been yanked out of the mud and snow many times by my front OEM hooks. Haven't had one problem with them yet.

With the mopar hooks theres no trimming or cutting that has to be done with the front fascia right?

Nope none. And to clarify, my buddy got his in some very very precarious situations. They took a lot of tugging and just got weak. Ill see if I can find a pic of it before he broke two wrenches trying to bend it back.
