Hey all! This is my first post after lurking for about a month. I just purchased a 2000 cherokee sport and it had no recovery points. I installed a Curt trailer hitch to the back but was hoping to mount something to the front.

I plan on buying the C4x4 tow hook brackets (http://www.custom4x4fabrication.com/recovery.html)
but i wanted to attach D-rings instead of hooks.

I was reading another thread and saw this post. It has what i need but i cant locate these mounting brackets anywhere


Anyone have an insight as to where i could get a hold of these D-ring mounts?

Thanks!

Google d ring hook mounts. It should pull some up I can't remember where I found some when I was looking before I bought my bumper.

Will do! Thanks. Ill report back with what i find

Joecam18

would these work? even though its meant for a tj, the holes look like they would line up with the C4x4 mount

You would have to call the vendors to see the bolt hole measurements. On the d ring adapters and tow hook brackets. See if detoursusa has them

No go. the best i could find was the C3R

gonna keep looking on google

Keep reading the name hicountry offroad was the place to find them but they are out of business

Yeah I only know one person who has them. But they only mount by what looks like 2 bolts and are single shear.

IRO or look up boost happy, he make a cool d ring mount

how difficult would it be to cut through the bumper? sawzall?

xjsnake

Cutting the bumper isn't hard. Fabbing up a strong enough mount for D-rings would be the hard part

Joecam18

I was asking about cutting the bumper in coincidence with the dring mounts made by boost

those ^^^

Those are nice. The stock bumpers are super thin so a nice pilot hole and a fresh body saw or jig saw , or sawzall with make quick work of it same goes for a grinder with cut off wheels

I'd drill a pilot hole and cut it with a jigsaw. The stock bumpers are easy to cut, they are paper thin (about as strong as paper too).

im gonna keep searching for the hicountry mounts, and if i cant find them ill fall back on those beefy mounts. ill probably just end up going witht eh beefy ones anyway cause its only $40 more or so

When it comes to recovery points, stronger is always better. I've ripped off tow hook and d ring mounts before that weren't strong enough, I'd get the best you can.
