I bought this rear tow hook for my 07 JK that has three holes in it. When I was trying to install it on the rear frame, it looks off a little bit to the side. Is it not supposed to be in the center of the rear bumper where that little notch is at or is it fine?
And to install it do I need to take the rear bumper off or can I just put it from below? Thanks.

 

if your standing behind the car it should be to the left side of the bumper..

 

^poor kittens....^

and no, you don't have to remove the bumper. i removed my factory tow hook and put a hitch on. took maybe 10 minutes and most of that was spent trying to find the socket

 

So its not in the center then?
Cuz I have seen some JK's with the tow hook in the center(no not the hitch hook thingy the OEM hook)
Thanks.

 

only if it's a 2009....2007 and 2008 look like this:

 

The '09s have them mounted o the drivers side frame rail. I believe both
'07s and '08s had them mounted in the center where the hitch would be mounted. If you bought the Mopar accessory then it would be the earlier center mounted version

 

 

this is it exactly. the center of the curve of the hook should just about line up with the little indent on the bumper. u would want to use the right 3 of the 4 holes on the crossbar. the mounting portion looks off-centered but the hook itself should just about be centered

 

you can just buy an 09 tow hook and mount it on the left side of your 07. That way you can install a hitch if you ever need one. I think it looks much better on the side as well.

 

are the holes there on an 07 for the 09 style rear hook?
