Keep me posted on what you find. I was thinking of seeing if ATH could custom fab something for me, but I gotta look and measure first.

All I can find is this and I don't think it's any good. Max towing capacity on that hitch is 3,000 lbs, so it therefore couldn't be a recovery point without using snatches, etc. Just kidding. Max weight when used as a straight pull point is 9000 lbs. So that could work.

Where does your brush guard mount to? The same holes as the tow hooks? Did you have to remove your bumper?

Bmxer524 · **Posted:** Mon Feb 03, 2014 4:10 pm

Same place as the tow hooks. And no bumper removal. Honestly, I think I can get pulled out by it, I'm just not sure how much I wanna trust it.

Do you have a hitch? If not, you could invest in one or a rear tow hook. I just installed a rear tow hook, so I atleast have one tow point.

I'm getting a rear hitch, just need to find the funds. I just like thinking ahead for a front tow point as well.

Please don't. Unless you would go about it someway I'm not thinking of, it isn't a strong tow point. The crossbars would bend in half pretty quickly.

I have a rear point of recovery (hitch with d-ring receiver), but a front point is usually a necessity in most Jeep outings.

Added some Tuff Led floods to the bumper. They're only $50 on Amazon for the pair. They have good reviews, but I'll have to find out for myself when I get them wired up. In a couple of weeks. If they suck then I'll use them as back up lights whenever I get a roof rack, if they're good I'll buy a few more

What's the verdict? I was eyeing them, too..

Just an FYI its not the gears that are expensive its the labor.

Might as well add a locker while you're in there. Won't be any more as far as labor is concerned. And 08-12 autos had the 3.73, 08 manuals were geared lower. I think 3.21s.

If you're sticking with your 32s, I say go 4.56s.

Not really. We're limited to 112ish anyways because of a ecu limiter. But when you put larger tires on and don't change your gearing, it lowers your gear ratio. Going to 4.56s with 32s would put you close to stock again.

Dunno why, but that made me chuckle.
