Previously Draw-Tite/Reese made them but I believe they stopped. I think Hidden Hitch still makes a two piece one that will fit. |

I have the two piece and love it! Great for the winch on the carrier and moving trailers easily. I believe mine is a Hidden Hitch |

DrawTite still has them. They just changed the number from the original Reese number. It is the one piece version. In addition to the receiver it also has two recovery loops welded in. |

thats good to know, i am trying to decide between tow hooks or front reciever, the tow hooks will look better, but the receiver is more user friendly. |

Get a D-shackle that goes in the front hitch, and that will work just as well as hooks plus it protects the front end with that forged steel sticking out as a bumper. |

The hooks are there for safety chains when you tow...not really for recovery...use a shackle tp be safe |

You need to trim the bumper if you have an '05>. Here is a picture/price: http://www.hitchfinder.com/drawtite/fro ... t_jeep.htm |

You have to remove the bumper cover from the vehicle. The kit should include plastic rivets to reattach it to the fender flares. |
