front tow hooks brackets/hooks cheap?
Where can i get em the cheapest? I've been looking around but haven't seem any major cheap ones anywhere. I don't care if they are used or new. I found out that i need a set for the front and hitch for the rear in order to go on my trail ride next month.

Used ones at junk yard are welded to the bumper brackets so you would have to use the old bumper brackets also. Ask me how I know. Lol

I was actually considering them but with shipping it comes out to be $96. 4wd hardware is 20 min from here and they would be $71 (forum discount). Are there major differences between the two other than what i can see? I'm not looking for a permanent tow point, because i have plans for the backbone system with winch/d-rings next tax season. I just need a set of hooks, or just one for that OCCASIONAL, BUT NEVER HAPPENS pull that i may need. I'm getting a rear hitch with hitch hook for main pulls.

Just buy one tow hook bracket then lol, Should be fine and I have seen people with only one that they let slide on in he he.
I would buy the ones closer to you. The C4x4 ones are great but not worth the extra 25 buck IMO. The resale value on Tow Hook brackets is high so either one you pic up when you get done with them you can sell them to somebody on here or another jeep site for 60 bucks easy. Maybe better than that on ebay.

I was wondering if you can mount hitch hooks to the front frame under the bumper? I found them for $ 10.99 ea in 4wd catalog. It seems like it should work. Theres 3 holes in the side . Youd just have to turn them sideways and bolt them on , right?
