Alternative to Tow Hooks as Tie Down Points

[Ruby]

If you have seen the new Broncos, you've seen their tie down points on the front of the car next to the hood. (If not see attached pic)
I like the idea and would love to attach something like that in the same place on my 2004 Liberty. The idea would be something I could tie anything from limb risers to Christmas trees to canoes onto.
Does anyone have knowledge of a product that already exists or advice if I'm going to have to make it myself.
Thanks ahead of time!

Make it yourself
and if making them I would also add metal under the hood as well , so bolts/whatever would not pull through
Personally I think they look out of place

and those are not for tow hooks , like to see someone try to use them as such though LOL

Ya I know they would never work as tow hooks, they're just tiedowns to use instead of the towhooks.

Not currently looking at my jeep, but seems to me that mounting something beneath the hood with a the tie-down coming out between hood and top of fender may be a good approach...leaving the hood alone.

What about mounting under hood on fender or radiator support and having it protrude out between hood and fender...just spit balling.

Bracket using two of the fender mounts with a piece coming up through the area between the hood and fender would work like mentioned

I tie front of my canoe down with a nylon ******** each side of the hood. Cut about 6 inches of nylon strap, loop it, and burn or punch a hole through the cut ends and install a grommet. Open the hood and unscrew one of the screws on each side and install the gromemt with a washer. Keep the nylon under the hood when not using them and they will last for several years. I tie my canoe, or ladder, or whatnot front and back to both sides with a ratchet strap over the top in the middle. Wind here in NM tends to move objects around on top.

A nylon what?...watch your language you man!

I wouldn't "tow" anything with those. About all they're good for is to lash down your canoe. If you like the look, then make some.
