I have a rear hitch receiver (1" - free) if you need a rear tow point.

Post up pics.
I live in Fairfield but I keep the jeep at my parents house in West Chester, I live in a condo and the old ladies complain about everything so I leave it up there. I bought the Rugged Ridge towhook kit and put it on Saturday. Not too bad of an install except my bumper and mount was a little bit bent so I had to straighten that stuff up to get them mounted right. I definatly need a rear tow point. Its got the class 1 hitch mount on the back of it (I think its the 1" ?) but I didn't think that was good enough. I thought I needed the 2"? I know I can't pull from receiver but I didn't know about looping to maint bar of the hitch its self that's behind the bumper. There were a few 2" hitches down at pull and pay the other day but I couldn't break the bolts loose with just my ratchet and I didn't have a breaker bar or pipe with me. I'll try to get some pics up after tonight.
