I think the ones you're referring to is what comes on the 2010 models? My 2007 came with the tow hook in the middle - where the tow hitch would go.

Try also your chrysler dealership, its a mopar part so you can order any mopar part from them. I don't know if it'll be the best price but they should have it.

My dealership quoted me 135 when I was looking. I ended up getting a used one from the local 4x4 shop. They got it from a jeep that replaced their bumper.

I have that driver's side hook sitting in my garage from replacing my rear bumper, I would let you have it for $20 but I don't know what shipping would be, it is heavy.

I have had my rear bumper on criagslist for 2 months with no nibbles. Gee, no one wants that piece of plastic, go figure.

How does it mount? could a older jeep say "08" drill the mounting location and make it work.

edit: I have tow and want 2010 mount location

I have one that I'm going to list for sale as well. I'm not sure how much but I'm thinking at least $40. it's a really heavy duty hook that is convenient to use. I wish I could keep it but the Mopar bumper mounts in the same spot. generally speaking, OEM tow points are extremely well made, if for no other reason than they would be liable for damages in the event of injury.

it mounts in the frame rail. three simple bolts. if the 2007-2008's don't have the holes, it is very easy to drill them (i have to drill one for my bumper install - frames are surprisingly easy to drill out).

so make me an offer if you're interested.
