Installed the rear tow hook today. Pics inside

Well, my rear tow hook finally arrived today. It is listed for 2002-2007 KJ, but it looked the same as the hook on the KK. So I ordered it.

Turns out I was right. The mount is exactly the same. Here are a few pics. As you can see, I really need to steam clean the bottom of my Jeep.

Can i do this on my KK even though I have the Mopar Class III hitch receiver?

No, I've been told it use the same mounting holes.Why would you need it with the hitch as a hook-up point?

options really, I'd like to compare the two and see specs. I'm kind of a nerd like that.

With this, it is either one or the other. The rear tow hook mounts on the left side, and uses two of the hitch mounting holes.

If you have a hitch, stick with that. Instead of putting stress on 2 bolts when recovering with the hook, a hitch distributes the weight over 6 bolts on both sides of the unibody

What "IF" you got longer bolts then could you run a hitch and hook??

I have seen KJ's run both. You might be able to do that on a KK, but it would be tight.

Why do that?

if you got a hitch go buy a hook attachment for your Hitch. $10 bucks from Harbor Freight . I use mine all the time with no issues. infact I was pulling tree stumps out of the ground today with it
