Looking for options that would work with the factory bumper. Willing to cut or notch out some sections. I'm seeing where people are bolting in standard black CURT hooks.

just buy the factory tow hooks and bolt them on, try JParts or some of the other places

I think there was someone selling front tow hooks in the for sale section.

I have the front Mopar tow hooks on and they are still a virgin.

I was however pulled out of a stuck on 2 different occasions from the back using a Warn shackle in my hitch receiver. That worked flawlessly.

x2. make sure if you buy them used that the M bolts are included. some have problems finding these after the fact. They are included with a new set from a dealer or whomever. (Jparts.com is good)

They're easy to put in too - really simple after getting around taking the bumper molding off.

Some years must be different. I put mine on without removing the bumper. It was a tight squeeze though. I had to cut the bumper so that the tow hooks could stick out the front. I used a dremel and it cut the plastic like it was butter.

05-07 bumper just needs the predefined "notch" cut out to make room. Seems we all like our Dremels :lol:

I too recently installed the Mopar front hooks ( '02 Limited ), and didn't have do a thing regarding the bumper. It was tight, but an air ratchet and Mac Tools torque wrench made the job easy. Fwiw, I was tempted to buy from JParts until I found a dealer in Minnesota who beat their price. They have a store on ebay "WinonaJeep" or "ChryslerWinona" I believe their called?
