i got pretty stuck yesterday, would like some suggestions on front tow hooks, my xj is a 2000, i have a 2" reciever in the back and will purchase a device to fit it. Any name brand better than the other? Checked out the tow hook pkg. from Rustys, looks pretty good. Thanks for your input.
Merry X-mas and happy new year.

C 4x4 http://www.jeepinoutfitters.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idProduct=40



I was told better quality than Rustys

Right now they are even a few dollars cheeper

Matter of fact I used them today for the first time at work helping my boss pull shrubs with chains

I would get the warn 2" recovery reciever I had one of the cheepo's from wally world and it was stolen so I went out to tractor supply and got the warn is was more but I got a warn sticker

I'd get a front reciever over towhooks, I have been told by many that as soon as you put an angle on them the brackets bend. I have even seen a bracket tear off the vehicle in a side pull. Not smart but it was the only choice at the angle he got stuck.

OEM or the C4x4 are both good. There are 3 peices of each side (the tow hook bracket and two support brackets).

I wouldn't do a front reciever, they tend to get in the way as often as not, and don't look very classy.

The OEM style (c4x4 is an oem emulation) with the braces is pretty strong. I had my jeep drug sideways by them several times.

I believe they were an option all years? And they work on all years. They weren't a standard option any year.
