I don't remember the number
of times where I’ve gotten stuck and needed to be pulled out from behind
and had the tow hook in a bad location, or just couldn't get to it. Now
since the Jeep came with a tow hook over on the driver side, I figured
why not put one over on the passenger side. I tried to find a hook the
curved the opposite way as the driver side, but didn't have any luck,
so I decided to just install another driver side hook over on the passenger
side. The clearance around the muffler was a little tight, but it does
fit.
Additional
Parts:
Stock Tow Hook
Tools
Needed:
18mm combo wrench
Installation: (Make certain muffler is cool to the touch,
I won’t be responsible for you burning your body on this.)
1.
Remove bottom bumper bolt. This requires an 18mm combo wrench. Patients
on this one, I couldn't get a socket in there and didn't have a
ratcheting box end wrench so it takes a little time.
2.
Insert bolt through the end hole on the tow hook (this is the one
that gets the capture nut inside the frame) and insert it up and
into the hole on the frame. You may need to push on the muffler
a little to allow it to clear up into there.
3.
Insert the capture nut into the frame and thread the bolt into it
by hand.
4.
Insert the bumper bolt through the tow hook and thread it back into
the frame.
5.
Tighten both bolts using an 18mm combo wrench. Remember patients,
this takes a while.
