Default Commander recovery points

Hi all

Asking on behalf of a club member - I'm assuming the Commander doesn't come with rated front recovery points; what are the options?

Has anyone come across any aftermarket ones?

Hi,
You can by recovery points from US (or through your local Jeep dealer).
The MOPAR part number is K82208987

All Jeeps sold in Australia come with factory recovery points that are suitable for most recovery situations.
The Commander has a large recovery point on the front. You would only bother changing it if you were doing lots of heavy recoveries.

I believe the the welded front towing point on the Commander and Grand Cherokee is rated at 1500kg, the proper hooks they use in the US are rated at 4500kg.

tonto

what are you on

the recover points on the tj are fine to use to snatch a car out of a bog - you can ad an additional point front and back to get a better balanced tow but the std ones work fine - have recovered plenty of cars on the std points all models of jeep
