Never seen them. Why not just do a hitch?

Yea, that looks like the puppy, here is one installed in my 98

I've since replaced it with a Tomken rear bumper with 2" receiver built into it.
If you do buy it you will also need the insert plate that goes into the frame rail unless you already have a skid plate back there and the nut plate is already in place.

How do you install the nut plat that goes inside of the frame rails?

I stand corrected.
I removed my bumper to make it easier to install the nut strips.

Would the rear hook brackets from a 1992 xj fit my 2000?

Go with a hitch, its a lot stronger than that thing, and plus, you can tow a boat or anything else with it. I have one of those metal reciever carriers and its great taking wood and everything else out onto the beach with.

I would love a hitch but I dont want to shell out 100+ dollars for one because I know I wont be towing alot if any.

A friend of mine ordered these and hasn't gotten them yet. It's been a couple weeks. I've read good things about them.

They look interesting, wonder how the side stresses are, the factory front ones are kinda weak and would twist even worse if they did not have the cross bracingl, limited that it is, that they have.
I for sure feel that good bumpers with built in tow points, for shackles, are the way to go. I went with the tomken rear with built in receiver and use that for my rear now. My front is the factory hook kit I added a month after I got it. Thats going to be replaced with a JCR front bumper as soon as I get some extra money.
