AZJeff Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I am looking for a pair of the OEM angle brackets that Go between the “frame horns” and the front crossmember below the radiator. I don’t want the ones that actually are used to attach the tow hooks themselves. I checked eBay, but no luck. Any suggestions for a source? Boneyards around here are pretty much cleaned out of this part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I may know of a set ill let you know if I find them. Angle iron and a drill diy style a option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZJeff Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Yeah, the backup plan is to get some heavy gauge steel bent and I drill it, but that’s more work, of course. I am hoping for the easy route.🥴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Number 5 right? If so there's 19 of the right side left and 12 of the left side left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Frick. I can still get the bumper brackets too! The only thing you can't get new is the hooks themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 A quick search of 52001972 and 52001973 yields some cheap looking versions of number 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No good pic. The right angle reinforcement bracket goes in corners on cross member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 So number 28 then? 52001976->52001976AB 52001977->52001977AB Theres some of those left as well. Actually 31 of the left side and 4 of the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I try. For what ever reason I was thinking he was looking for the piece that supports the tow hook brackets and not the ones that bolt into the cross member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Yeah it’s 31. I ordered the last set of those and I did not get what’s in the catalog. Instead I got loops. Those could be used in conjunction with the hook, the loops can not. Course it doesn’t help the part number superseded to something different.

schardein Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I'm a big fan of replacing the factory bumper mounting clips with those brackets. Most of the XJ/MJ bumpers I remove, those clips seize, twist, and break. The brackets work so much better even if you aren't running the tow hooks & other related hardware.
