It seems most people on here are talking about front tow points so I thought I'd just throw this in the pot. A rear hitch is the best way in my opinion to take care of the rear tow point.

If you have the receiver hitch with a d-ring mount, using the tow ball is not a safe way to recover a vehicle... But I will admit I have done it with vehicles that have no other recovery point.. On my wife's blazer I take out the receiver/ball and run the chain through the hitch.. Of course people say chain isn't the safest either, but I spent 8 yrs in the military using it..

So we have noticed...
You can buy a tow hook receiver for about 10 - 15 bucks which is a lot cheaper than getting a D-ring receiver. I would never try and hook up a rope to a ball. now take the ball out and run a D-ring through it and that would work

What I used to do before I got a tow hook receiver is run my tow strap through where the safety chains hook to.

Also chains can work it's just a safty issue. A strap breaks and some one gets hit you'll live. A chain breaks and you get hit... well, you probably wont get a second chance to switch to using straps.

Get a copy of JP magazine or look at them online they have a list of announced Jeep events put on by various clubs nationwide.

BTW Lawsuit has been filed. The top right corner of the post blocks have a built in spell check so poor spelling is not allowed.
