MCF90 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hey all, Just wondering, besides a rear hitch, is there any other way to add a rear recovery point to the rear of the MJ? I've got two hooks on the front of my MJ, but nothing on the rear. Any ideas? Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 The factory tow hook package included two hooks in front and one in the rear. There was a multi-piece bracket set that attached it -- the hook itself was not bolted directly to the unibody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 strapping to any part of the suspension is a bad idea, always has, always will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I'm assuming you're the same guy who posted the same question over on NAXJA :roll: I'll repeat.....the quickest, SAFEST, and easiest solution for you is a class III hitch. don't put a D-ring thru the trailer-ball hole on the factory bumper don't hook to anything on the suspension when you develop the fab skills or can afford to pay someone who has them, build a rear bumper that incorporates recovery points.

I am not aware of any factory rear tow hook setup for the MJ. Sorry for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
