If your gonna get tow hooks for a wk get the saguaro d ring shackle mounts, I just installed them and they are heavy duty. D rings are better then hooks because the strap or rope won't slide off and kill someone

No doubt a solid locked connection is better than a simple open hook, but the wk hooks face up (unlike the wj) and you litterally could not pull the tow strap off the hook if you wanted to, even if you pulled straight up and smashed the strap into the bumper (the hook hooks back enough... Im looking over at mine right now). Your lookin at 165+/- shipped for the saguaro mounts or you can go to your local dealer and pay 140+/- and have them there the next day (more than likely). Plus with the hooks they will be silent and you will get some noise from the d-rings.

Coop doesn't need his cuz he will never get stuck. Gotta get down an dirty for that!

OAN my stocks have never failed me. Both pulling others out and getting myself pulled out. Them facing up makes the difference. It's kinda like Toyota and Jeep. Some people like one and hate another. Just pick your poison.

Well the saguaro was 120$ shipped, and you can't keep the strap on unless its under tension, and the d rings make no noise.

Yes 120 without the d-rings... which is fine and the D-rings are not super expensive so your still about the cost of the mopar tow hooks for them to be functional and to be under I am not sure I would trust the reliabilty of a cheaper D-Ring as you think a flying tow strap is a killer, I would say a flying broken d-ring is slightly more dangerous. Dont get me wrong I am not biased, the d-ring is a good setup edging out the hooks function in EXTREME conditions, in reality all the wheeling a typical grand will get into the d-ring is mucho overkill for what is needed).

furthermore, Sir Isaac Newton could teach you a thing or two about gravity, as I stated the hook opening is facing up, add in this sweet thing called gravity and any slack in a tow strap not going to make the strap lift out of the tow hook. But think that all you want ;)
