Don't be tempted to use the screw in tow eye hook, that Jeep supply with the MY12, for snatching or winching..Could be fatal if you do...It's only for hauling onto tow truck & tie down...

The screw-in tow eye mounting hardware..Not good:

You need to read the thread on the front recovery hooks .........http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...d.php?t=110611
The tow hooks have been deleted because the front crossmember on the 2012 has been modified to comply with EU pedestrian regs.
The hooks no longer fit.

First question anyone would ask but with MY12 front end redesign, next is how to attach tow hooks (difficult)?? There are two holes in the frame that have been deleted from the MY12 GC..Theses are necessary and looks like the redesigned frame isn't substantial enough (too narrow) to be drilled or modified to fit them as is MY11 so hopefully ECB can come up with something..I believe Stu from Murchason Products is also looking into it.

see thread: http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...d.php?t=112125
