| Post subject: | Need tow points |
I've decided I don't want or need a full bumper. Just some really worthy tow points. Not mopar hooks. Any Ideas? I like the detours backbone but I don't need the winch. It would feel like a waste to buy it just to grind off the winch mount plate. Is there anything in production out there? I've seen a few custom fabbed shackle points on here but I dont know if I could trust myself with that. |

here it is: http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25615 and if you get enough of a drop, I think around 3" you shouldnt have to trim your bumper |

you can get a D shackle from a trucking supply place and the bracket that it mounts to and place it on the unibody frame where he fatory holes are |

Thanks for the reply. Saw that one, I'm not sure where they will come out of my bumper. Don't like the idea of the 3" drop. I think it would put more stress on the bolts. I'll have to take a look and see where the holes are. |

Mopar hooks will do just fine unless you do something stupid have yet to see one bend or break on a YJ/TJ and I wheel 2+ times a month the hooks for the KJ are bigger |
