Does anyone know if I could put some sort of tow points (hooks) or the front and rear bumpers (both stock) of my TJ. If so maybe a picture of what I need. Thanks

Just curious where they bolt on at. Is it the frame where the bumper is attached? If so do I need longer bolts to go along with them?
It is just to the side of the fog lights. You'll see 2 black torx heads.

You have to fabricate a factory tow-point in the rear if you do not have a tow-package... There are a few options you have available to you.. Some guys on here have pics..

Not entirely true, you can always pick up a factory rear tow hook. And bolt it right in.

Check out how to install rear tow hooks at http://www.stu-offroad.com/guards/gas/tj_hooks.htm and make sure NOT to drill through both sides of the frame. The nut and bolt go inside the frame via an opening on the bottom of the frame. Through-bolting through both sides of the frame would start collapsing the frame at that point. :eek:

Just an FYI. DC stopped making factory rear TJ points last summer. When I tried to buy one last September, there were only 2 for sale in the entire US. Both in Arizona. If you want a factory rear point, ask your local Jeep dealer to do a search. Maybe they're still available. I was lucky to pick a used one up local when a buddy changed his rear bumper.
