Thanks for all the good information. I'm picking up my Grand Cherokee on Monday and I am really concerned about the lack of recovery points.

Considering Jeep's decision to remove the hooks from the 2012 model I had a laugh when I saw this advertisment: -

Have a prowl through this thread......there is information that Jeep have stated the supplied eye bolt is approved for use in a recovery situation.

JnK I hate to say this but using that screw in eye bolt for anything other than flat on road towing you would be taking your life in your hands. I am a qualified rigger and I can tell you that it isn't rated for much weight at all. If it could handle 1 metric ton in total I would be amazed.
