Plan-B

Well I'll start off with the story of why i'd like to do this.
My friend was being dumb, messing around in his car at a church parking lot up the street and well we'll say he took it off the pavement, and got it stuck. If it weren't for a few shrubs he would have went down a STEEP hill into a lake. Haha he calls me and i run down there to try and help.
I don't have my license yet (11 more days)
So anyways him and his friend that was with him are like alright we're gonna push it out. Well this dude comes over and was like you guys cant push this out you'll need a truck or something, and wouldn't let us push it. So then we have to get his parents involved. Not good. I also call my dad to pull it out.

If only I had some hooks on my jeep...

SO... how can i put hooks on the front of my 97 Laredo

I got my bumper ripped off trying to pull someone out. Not cool. But I got it fixed like new now. Even better than factory. But I would like to be able to pull someone out if need be. or pull me out. lol.

You can get a nice set of front tow hooks from Rusty's....
This is the same set I have on my ZJ...

little pricey for me. lol (trying to save for a wj)
i meant could i buy a hook and mount it on the frame or something?

Thanks nick

And I guess that would work if you were creative. Me I would buy something that was made for it. But im sure you can come up with something. just something that would mount right.

nick_n_ii

YOu can but you need to measure the distance between the holes, and go to a auto parts store that sells hooks. So you can find on that fits right..

Plan-B

what do you mean? measure the distance of the holes..?
where would i even mount a hook on the front?

nick_n_ii

If you pull the front bumper(cover) there are 4 holes up on the side of the frame rail.. That's what the after market bumpers and tow hooks mount to. You should be able to get a tow hook with the same or close to the same bolt hole spread. And bolt them there. In doing so you'll need to trim a little of the lower bumper so you can get to the hooks..

I'm looking through my old pics cause i have pics of that area, I'll post them if I can find them..

why are the ZJ hooks chaper than the XJ?

Plan-B

alright cool.
how do i take the bumper off? lol then get it back on?

looks like less material used in the brackets...

nick_n_ii

Remove head lights and grill, there are 6 "pop" button,s and than there are 2 or 3 in the wheel wells. Than it just pulls off....

I'd say do to demand... The old laws of supply and demanded....
