Mounting rear tow hooks on XJ

[scottsxj]

To get the "inside" reinforcement bracket into the frame you MUST remove the rear bumper. It slides right in place then. The L shaped mounting bracket hooks into the two weld nuts in the reinforcment bracket and you use a bolt for the tail. The same reinforcement bracket is used when mounting a hitch as well.

I'll try to get pictures up of my installtion, add some keywords so this doesn't come up again. It's even a bit confusing in the FSM and the parts list.

The hook mounts to 2 weld nuts on the exterior L bracket.
