99 XJ classic 4x4
To make a long (yet funny) story short, I manage to get my jeep stuck in the mud last night. I am not really one for off roading at this point, so I know pretty much nothing about recovery. I could not find any tow hooks on the front of my jeep (I am guessing because it is a classic), so I hooked a tow strap around the front axle (I only need to go 10 feet). We polled the jeep out with no problem once, we had the right equipment, but I wanted to find out what the best towpoint is for the front of a jeep with no tow hooks?
also, could have have damage my jeep by pulling it out from the axle?
Finally, what would be the best thing for me to bolt on to my jeep for recovery (front and back) without changing the OEM look?
Any help is aprceiated!
