thanks

 

Also here is a pic of XJStrykers front recover points..the first link I posted..

 

They mount to the unibody with a long piece of steel that then mounts a set of hooks or clevis's like the ones you see in XJ Stryker's avatar. They can often be found in a junkyard but there are manufacturers which sell aftermarket ones. HERE

 

They are also included on MOST aftermarket bumpers...

The one I would like to get.. with tow points and 2" receiver. http://www.jcroffroad.com/Merchant2/...egory_Code=XJB

 

I am thinking about getting a draw-tite front hitch... and using that reciever as a recoverry point

 

I have the same setup as that above picture has and they work well. I bent the one on the passenger side the first time I had to use it though.

 

Yeah, so while i was out, i looked at the front of my jeep to see where they would mount, and low and behold, i got tow points!

 

Excellent. We all thought you had crawled all under your junk just like we did when we got ours. Glad you got them. You need to make a through inspection of every part of yor XJ.

 

I did, but i am new to all of this, so i was looking for problems, not even knowing what the aftermarket stuff was! and lol I dont got "junk". I am just learning alot from u guys and slowly exploring my new found toy!

 

i cant rember were i saw this^^ any body know

 

"JUNK"as meant as a term of endearment. I often refer to my Jeep as my "junk" but that doesn't mean I'm not very fond of it and have no plans to replace it. It is the fartherest thing from junk to me. I would rather have it than a brandnew anything. I know every bolt and nut on it and have had a wrench on each (transmission excepted) and thus was very surprised that you had not at least inspected everything the eye could see on yours.

 

i was just joking around! have a sence of humor! besides I wasnt talking about that kind of junk, i was refering to like, a guy's junk, lol. Laugh a little!

 

I laugh plenty I thought you had been offended by my calling your Jeep junk.
And yes men have junk that is occasionally appreciated by others. But that is another forum.
