tow hooks
Hello,
I have an '03 JGC Laredo I6 and am looking for some solid tow hooks to mount on the front. My buddy recently got his Nissan Pathfinder stuck in my field and I couldve used some. Can anyone recommend a solid, affordable product that can be installed without removing the bumper? Thanks, appreciate it.

For anything strong enough to tow from you will need to remove the bumper and mount the hooks through the vehicle frame.

The bumper fascia is simple to remove and the tow hooks themselves take about 2 minutes to bolt up. Look for used Mopar/factory tow hooks...I was just winched up a hill out of a swamp by my factory tow hooks with no problems.
Another piece of advice is that if you're going to wheel with a ricer invest in a winch  .

I've been eyeing the ones from Saguaro 4x4. They include the hardware to reinstall the bumper.

I got my factory tow hooks from JF member WJChris for $30...$100+ less than any aftermarket hooks.

I also got my factory hooks for $30 on ebay. Install was easy. You can see it in my build. Not much to it at all.

You can either find some stock ones or go with the aftermarket D Rings which look really good.

yeah, the ones on rusty offroad are a little less expensive than the ones I found on ebay (105 vs 75). also the ones on rusty offroad the hook is mounted horizontally opposed to the vertical hook with the factory hook, which I will probably opt for. Thanks for the input y'all
