Front end recovery point
I have a '98 Cherokee that i need to add some recovery points to and i'm not sure what i'm looking for is still being made. I know you can get the brackets and tow hooks for the front but I'd rather have d rings if possible. I saw high country made them but they are out of business, Rusty's did but they don't show them on there site any more and c4x4 doesnt have them on their site either. Any one know if you can still buy such a thing?
Here is what i'm wanting:

Rutsy's has these. I'm sure you could find a way to get the D-rings on there instead?

Ya i like that idea but i dont think the stock bumper is a good place to mount it on. I'm fine with running the tow hook mounts that you can find any where but i cant find anything that would attach to that to fit a d ring. I've found picture and old threads with d ring mounts but nothing currently being sold.

Found something else. Looks like they took the "tow hook" bracket, and created a bottom bar stock mount for the D Rings.

you have to buy them extra but these will work with the brackets that come with the tow hooks. this is most likely what im gunna do

Yea best bet might be to go to your local welding/offroad shop and have them make you one up. I had no luck haha

iron rock offroad has d-ring mounts available for their front recovery system. I have it and its awesome. Stiffens the frame and helps protect your radiator and what not.
They also come with hooks, takes all of about 29 seconds to change them out to whichever you want at the time.
