Maybe I need to take another look, but I was *sure* I saw frame rails
under my XJ !?! (All the links above refer to unibody) If I'm wrong,
I'm glad I didn't buy the hooks yet, cuz the special brackets required
for a unibody are a lot more work than I planned :(

Re: Advise on installing tow hooks on 95 Cherokee Sport
They call it a 'uniframe' more than a unibody because there are frame
rails all the way along.
The problem is there is no frame out to the bumper so you need frame
extensions to fit tow hooks on. They are pretty beefy too.

rails all the way along.
The problem is there is no frame out to the bumper so you need frame
extensions to fit tow hooks on. They are pretty beefy too.

Re: Advise on installing tow hooks on 95 Cherokee Sport
They call it a 'uniframe' more than a unibody because there are frame
rails all the way along.
The problem is there is no frame out to the bumper so you need frame
extensions to fit tow hooks on. They are pretty beefy too.
