Junkyard score of 26 bucks. 4 Bushwacker flat flares. Only damage is a little crack on the bottom of the rear pass one. Nothing a little fiberglass and bedliner can't fix.

I am not looking for stuff like that but you guys have good boneyards. Would never see that in my area. And for sure not for $26.
Got home this morning and wrapped up the coolant hose R&R on the Jeep. Put a factory thermostat in there even though the stant that was in it was new. And replaced what looks like the original radiator cap (Pentastar marked with 95 P/N) with a new MOPAR cap as well.
Not really sure what you mean about the eye loop style. The only thing that differs from my tow hooks to yours is the hook itself. Mine has a bigger base. If you look you closely you can see in the picture. Also I believe there is a difference in the brackets for '96 down and '97 and up. Not so much the brackets but the bumper brackets. I think holes are in different positions. Rear tow hook on an XJ is kinda shaky. Only one for the rear and it is on the driver's side. And can only go on that side. To be frank as a recovery point I don't know. I just put it on for a look. Also modifying a second one I have to put on the passenger side. My buddy separated the bracket and rewelded it for me. That shot is just a test fit.
I was never overly impressed with the front tow hooks. Having to be yanked out of a snow bank left one bent to the side, and when I would them for tugging things around the yard, they would drop the strap anytime it lost tension. Closed loops would have been a big improvement. Didn't have one in the rear. Usually just threw the strap over the trailer ball.
Major welding this last few days. Went over to a buddys shop and started some work that needs doing. Also got my sliders welded in! just need to paint them now. I hate how much rust i find when I work on this thing, but I guess it could be much worse.
Didn't get many pictures, I was a little busy cutting out rust.
