I dont think it needs to be said but dont loop the strap over your side mirrors... lol.
You need reinforcement brackets on our vehicles unless you want to deal with a law suit after the tow hook rips out and tears through someones skull like a watermellon.

Thats the type I mean.

that was a sweet mental image lol
agreed you need uniframe brackets to keep from ripping tow hooks out. For the rear - just buy a trailer hitch and stick a d-ring insert in.

jeep also had a factory rear tow hook you could find rather then buying a hitch, which can also get in the way... unless you want one.... info here

both front and rear are on ebay, the rears are harder to find....
or like posted above, run a bumper with hook/pull points.... the bumpers fully tied in are the best option in my opinion...

I have the same one, except i have the d-ring's instead. They just came out with the d-rings as an option about a month ago, I think I was one of the first to get it. I've been very impressed with everything I have received from IRO.

How bout a new front bumper altogether? Plenty of choices in the vendors section. I have a Hudfab front bumper that is beef!
