Front tow recovery hooks?

[farwellbooth]

Any place to bolt on some front tow hooks without modifying the front bumper? I need to crawl under and look... I did some searching here and don't see much.

What hooks and where to bolt?

Many thanks

There is a pretty sturdy tow ring under a removable cover in the center of the lower bumper, that's not good enough?

Sounds great to me, thanks. I didn't know about the cover I'll check it out

There is one behind a cover on the rear bumper, too. Both are very strong tow points and actually part of the chassis - I've been yanked and have yanked others at both ends, no problem. If you off-road, I'd recommend you remove both covers before you head out, so both recovery points are exposed and easy to reach if you ever need them.

Best bet is to buy some aftermarket recovery points..

Why's that? And where would you mount them?
The front one is not huge but adequate. I've snatched a stuck semi truck with the front last winter. The stock rear one is about the beefiest tow hook mount I've ever seen.

Methinks "Railey" is a troll or spambot of some sort.

Nope. Neither. The factory points are more for transport so I am told. The aftermarket points are more robust and safer.

For rear I'd use something like this:
