Default Stock Front Bumper Tow Hooks

After putting on my Hanson front bumper, I have the stock bumper that I had planned on selling. After looking around however, I notice a lot of people request just the tow hooks, and it got me to thinking, is there a good use for front stock tow hooks somewhere else, like the rear bumper, or are people just wanting to add the tow hooks to their stock fronts?

If that is the case, is there a good write up for front tow hooks being added to a rear bumper?

I wouldn't dare say that nobody has ever done that because it amazes me sometimes the creativity of the Jeep community. However, I will say that most folks after stock tow hooks just didn't get any with their Jeep. I gave mine away for free--provided whoever wanted them came and picked them up. Some folks sell them for a small pittance and deal with the trash themselves. But, if your front bumper is undamaged, there are those who have crumpled theirs who might want a better looking one.

Good to know. I have seen a picture of a jeep with stock hooks bolted onto a modified front bumper before, and was wondering if people did that for the rear as well
