Rough Country Geschmiedete Abschlepphaken für 15-22 Jeep Grand Cherokee | Rot - RS133

Looks strong and heavy, will do the job.

They fit easily if you remove the lower bumper, don’t tighten them until the bolts are started

Perfect fit for a 2016.

.....leider auch bei meinen Haken an einer Stelle ein wenig Lack abgeplatzt war. Trotz allem (hatte zufällig einen roten Lackstift da...) bin ich zufrieden. Allerdings muss man erwähnen das die Haken massiv schwer sind. Es ist tatsächlich massiver Stahl und ich schätze der Wagen wird locker 10 Kg schwerer. Da ich allerdings kein Reserverad mehr durch die Gegend fahre ,hebt sich das auf. Montiert habe ich sie noch nicht. Ist mir momentan zu kalt.Kleiner Tipp: beim GRAND CHEROKEE lässt sich die Frontschürze entfernen. Dazu gibt es Drehverschlüsse vorne unten drunter und in den Radkästen. Danach kann man den Unterschutz herunterklappen und braucht ihn nicht komplett abnehmen. Dann lassen sich die Haken besser montieren. Beim Overland würde ich zudem Geländestufe 2 (also max) anfahren. Dann klappts besser.

The front vents on my 2018 Grand Cherokee didn’t pop out so a little bit of cutting was required. When fitting the tow hooks there was a metal bracket that needed to be bent a little bit also. Once fitted they look and perform well.

The product is sturdy & solid, perfect for general recovery purposes. Installing these wasn't too bad; the Jeep access is really tight especially on the passenger side! Need to remove plastic covers underneath the Jeep, so beware of rusty speed clips not releasing. Can't get a torque wrench in the Jeep so tighten these as snug as you can in the tight space. The instructions show how to remove the factory ones if you have them installed. Clean out the frame area and clean the mounting holes BEFORE assembling; use a brush to clear threads, put oil on the bolt, test run the bolt threading BEFORE putting the hook in!! Avoids possible crossthreading or jamming when your crammed underneath the Jeep! Otherwise it's simple to insert, loose thread the bolts finger tight, wiggle to line things up so the washers seat properly with the bolts, then wrench them snug.I painted mine from the red to black. I used a nylon scrub pad and IPA to prep & clean the surface, then used grey primer, then two coats of black rust paint. They blend nicely into the look of the front and they're ready for use.Price was amazing as somehow I got an 'open box' or warehouse deal here at Amazon. The Rough Country product is solid and looks to hold up to its reputation.

They arrived in a timely manner. They were packed very well in two nested cardboard boxes, each hook individually bubble-wrapped and wrapped in heavy paper, with hardware (4 bolts and 8 washers) individually packaged. No damage to powder coating. The instructions start with removing factory tow hooks. They have a completely different design which would appear to allow them to collapse in a collision, probably to avoid damaging the frame. When it gets to the point your installing the new ones, the instructions are useless. It’s pretty much 10 steps on uninstalling the factory ones and the 11th step is “Tah-dah! Here is a picture of the new ones installed. Fortunately the install is very strait forward and it’s easy to figure out. (The open side of the hooks orient toward the center of the vehicle. The hooks bend downward from the frame. The recessed bolt/washer holes face downward. I tested my bolts without the hooks first. The two front threaded holes in the frame were fine. The the two toward the back had some rust in them. I shot them all with PB Blaster and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then I ran all the bolts in a little past half way to clean up the threads a bit and make for an easier install. The hooks are heavy. You definitely won’t want to drop one on your face. If you’re working alone it’s a little awkward to hold them in place and get your first bolt started. You might put a moving blanket or pad down so if you do drop one you aren’t going to chip away the coating. I installed them in my driveway without a jack. I can’t remember the socket size but I put an extension on my socket and placed the bolt and washers in the socket. I lined up the hook with one hand and started the bolt by holding the end of the socket extension with the other hand. A headlamp is a must. The bolts all started WAY easier than I expected. I was able to pull the socket/extension off the bolt, put it on my ratchet and snug it up. Get both bolts snug but loose enough you can make adjustments. There is some wiggle room and you want to make sure the hooks are even (or at least I did because I’m borderline OCD). I found that eyeballing the part of the hook that bolts to the frame and the frame (while lying in the ground looking up) to make sure they were parallel to one another, produced perfectly acceptable results. When I had them were I wanted them I cranked down the bolts while watching to make sure the hooks didn’t move out of position. I know I’ve probably made this sound complicated, but it really isn’t. I just wanted to give people a realistic idea of what they’re in for. You got this! Also use a wax or detailing product with UV protection after you wash the vehicle to keep the power coat protected. Powder coats can fad/get chalky pretty quick if your not prepared to do something to protect it from oxidation.
