my 98 cherokee sport has no trailer hitch, tow hooks, or shackles or anything of that sort.
First off i need to know what i could use as a tow point for now, and second can someone show me where to mount front tow hooks?

 

look at the junk yards for factory ones. if not build a bumper

 

search it theres plenty of info

 

Sounds good, im going to the junkyard on wednesday anyways because the idiot that sold me the jeep replaced the axle shaft but its the wrong size because its a manual.. But thank you.

 

they make a kit to put hook on factory are hard to find down here

 

yeah theres no place to bolt on tow hooks if they didnt come factory with them if you google xj tow hooks youll find some for the front cause otherwise theres not much to yank on and for the rear i would invest in a bumper or a hitch cause theres not much there either kinda sucks huh

 

stock tow hooks pretty much suck
mine had a bracket that bolted over the stock bumper bracket used the stock bumper mounting holes and extrended back and used one hole behind the steering box wasnt much to really pull from
id invest in building or buying bumpers with good mounts

 

Buy or build a bumper. Stock hooks are simply dangerous in my opinion. Others will disagree but when it comes to the safety of myself and my family/friends I dont half *** anything.

 

This will do the trick!

I recently installed a front and rear hitch on my xj for under $300 shipped to my door with the wiring for trailer lights, from etrailer.com. Give them a call, they gave me a discount when I called and the shipping was free. I didn't remove either of the bumpers to get them on and installed them both myself.

Good Luck.

 

Thanks for the advice!

I was only thinking of the hooks for the front, unless anyone highly disagrees?!

 

Get the Tow Hook Brackets and the Re-inforcing Plates.

This is the way to go. I have both front and rear rec. hitches too. Solid, spread out load, and stiffen the uniframe a little too.

 

can somebody tell me how thick is the trailer hitch material? and can somebody tell me about the steel profile dimensions in same hitch design?
