Default Rear Bar/Tow Bar

What are people doing for a tow bar - I don't like the idea of them cutting the rear bumper to fit one!

I've had a look at the aftermarket stuff but not sure what I like.

Any ideas?

I want a rear bumper that has the 2" receiver built in not under, robbing ground clearance thats why the Lod rear bar is cool, theres a few others that do this too. Hoping the ARB bar does too.

My dealer said "You can't get them here yet!!" He also told me the front one is not ADR compliant.

Do you have pics of a Mopar rear bar - if it is what I am looking for I am happy to order it from you!!

Looking at this thread: http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...ad.php?t=69264

Rear bar doesn't have a spot for the tow hitch. It will still have to go underneath. No-one has answered the question yet of whether the eyelets on the back are recovery points or not.

Front bar - where do the recovery points go? Fog lights look crap. What's up with the square-ish protusions? Generally ugly but other than the fog light issue doesn't look too bad.

Mopar Tow Bar is available now from any Jeep dealer. Fitting it involves cutting the protruding number plate mount right off. The kit includes a new, metal plate that is located just left-of-centre ( like Nigel ). It looks just fine and provides maximum departure angle.
The front Mopar bar has crush cans located under the plastic blisters.
Yes, fog lights look like crap, but they're useless anyway.
