My class III trailor hitch is my rear recovery point. 8 bolts straight to the frame. This baby is stout.

Never heard of such an animal, on an XJ, as a factory rear tow hook.

why dont you just put a D ring or two right on your bumper, in line with where it bolts straight to the frame? Its cheap and goes right to the frame...?
