Hi Derek,
No. That's not what your rule book says according to you, they want
tow hooks bolted via number eight grade bolts to your frame. SO...
comply: http://www.stu-offroad.com/hooks-skid/hook1.jpg More than likely
it's the their event insurer that's dictating this. Try and get on a
drag strip telling them you don't axle retainers:

because you have Superior axles. Of course, sometimes they get away
without them and kill someone.

Don't know about your Jeep jam, but the one I've been to twice only has
front tow hooks as required, rear optional.
