I am getting my tow hooks next week, and would love to join you guys up there. Let me know if this one is getting too full. I have off road experience, but not much in California.

Better (and safer!) to have _no_ tow point, than an _unsafe_ tow point, IMHO.Jeff

I have a Rock it Man front bumper with the D-ring attachment points.
I like those better then tow hooks. It is a straight pull on the frame that way. On the rear, I have a receiver D-ring that I put into my Warn Rock Crawler bumpers reciever attachment point. All have been used and have had no problems.

guys, note that Nate has an XJ- he'll have to get the appropriate brackets to mount tow hooks safely (there is no metal substantial enough to mount tow hooks to). I had these before I got an aftermarket front bumper: http://custom4x4fabrication.com/recovery.html#brackets and they survived several very hard pulls. Reasonable price, too.
