Yeah, finally put my Chrysler front hooks on...Big deal, right...well it is to me.
The supplied u bolts and slip nuts made it a snap. Nice when a job is this easy and goes smoothly...NEXT....

That was my first mod i did to my KJ. I installed them the 2nd weekend after i bought it. They do go on pretty easy. The only thing I nervous about was cutting the openings in the bumper for the hooks.

NEXT... you can install a hitch. Then you can have a recovery point in the rear. Four Bolts and it done.

Luckily my KJ came with a tow hitch.
The upper control arms and strut swop...now that was a job - but well worth every minute. I did add top of strut plates. The best reward for that job was seeing those ball joint angles straighten up aside from the ride improvement.:D

Hooks and skids were the first 2 things I did to mine.

I cut the bumper out with a dremel.

It took me 6 hours with the Mopar kit...
:eek:

Man, it took me about 2 hours and that included trimming out the bumper cutout.

Sup with dat?:p

I greased the sway bushing while I was down there.

*Edit*

Oh.lol
The M bolt fell over in the frame. Spent about an hour trying to get out, before just removing the bumper. :rolleyes:
