I found a pair of factory front tow hooks from a 96 XJ, will they fit my 99 XJ?

I haven't seem them in person yet and the seller an hour or so away, So I'd like to know before spending gas money...

thanks!

Big David

Yes.

Bbasso

thank you!

you might have to trim some holes in the lower bumper fascia for them to fit thru, basically just trim out where the factory hole should be.

Bbasso

thanks, kinda figured I'd have to cut something. lol

I'm in the same boat. I have the hooks, brackets and even the bumper from a 1994 XJ, and plan to see just how bad it looks when slapped onto an 1997 XJ.

Good luck to you, and if I get mine done first, I'll post up some piccies/info.

you can see my 99 XJ in this thread (post#181)
2nd pic you can see the hole I had to cut, but those are aftermarket towhook brackets from Custom 4x4.
In the last pic, I have an older gen bumper on my 99XJ, still havent put the towhooks back on yet though

I'll hopefully be getting the hooks tomorrow.
And when I do install them I'll be sure to post pictures in my thread.

You do have the brackets? if not then they will not do you any good.

Bbasso

he's got the brackets and hooks

should only have to drill a hole thru thin bumper does no affect hook in any way just holds bumper to bracket

Bbasso

does anyone have a picture that shows where to mount them?

Been searching, but I haven't come across a good enough pic.

I will crawl under mine tomorrow and get some shots for you...
