I got my tow hooks today Now I just have to put them on. Anyone have any pointers that might save me some time? Or want to help? __________________ '99 XJ, 5.5" lift, 33" MT's '11 Dodge Charger I miss the days that they made toys that could kill a kid. Support our Troops My Pics and Specs My Build Thread

Good guide, wish I had seen that before installing mine.

The guide stated 2.5 hours, took me 4-5. Maybe with the guide it would have been quicker ;)

If you still have wheel well liners you will want them out of the way, or atleast partially.
I didnt cut the notch in the stock bumper mount as suggested in the guide, I installed the bolts for the hooks flipped with the nut on the bottom, just had to have the front bolt in place in the bracket before installing the bumper bracket. Glad I did it that way, because now I have shackles mounted, and I imagine it was easier to swap because the nuts where on the bottom.

Really its kind of a PITA for a couple of hooks, but ya need'em.
