Default tow hook points

So my 2000 Cherokee sport doesn't have any tow hooks front or rear.I'm wondering if I can use some off another truck like let's say a 2005 GMC truck 2wd.My dads truck has 2 of them that he said I could use.on my jeep it has a place that looks like to me that some were mounted on it before. the front facie on the bottom where the front spoiler is has 2 holes cut out for something and mounting places with holes that has a nut welded to it. This is my concern on me mounting them there.the Cherokee is a sub framed SUV and it looks like I'd be mounting them on the rear radiator core support which I'm not sure would be strong enough to have a truck with a chain pulling at it when I'm stuck.Then again I really don't see a strong place to put some tow hooks. I could be wrong and it be where the bumper mounts and not the radiator support. Here are some pics of what I'm talking about.
Here's the hole I'm talking about on my jeep.if you look closely you can see where I'm talking about the hooks would mount. Name:  1016131543a.jpg

Those hooks are not going to work on your jeep. You need the mounting brackets that bolts several spots on the sub frame. Your best bet is to go to the JY on find some off another cherokee.

Don't bother trying some GM recovery. Several people have tried the tow hooks from Blazers and it is just wrong. Buy some XJ tow hook brackets and tow hooks. You can get the tow hook brackets here : http://www.quadratec.com/products/12007_800_07.htm
