Default Front Recovery Hook

Hi
Just wondering if anyone has added a recovery hook like this to the front of the JK?



In Australia we dont get the same bumper and dont have the front recovery hook that you get in the US.

Looking for some other options
Any ideas would be great
thanks

You could order the US ones and cut a howl in the plastic. Should work. I just put a US bumper over my European bumper frame so see no reason why youl couldent just cut howls in the plastic.

Yeah.. I was thinking about that. I have read that when you do this straps dont hook on well as the aussie bumper is higher and the hooks dont stick out enough.

I think it would be difficult to find a spot to bolt those hooks onto a stock bumper... I took mine apart once to add the factory tow hooks and i am probably wrong, but i didnt see any good spots for mounting aftermarket tow hooks like those pictured.
