Owners Of WK Grand Cherokee 2012 – current.
Most WK Grand Cherokee models do not come from the Jeep factory with suitable front recovery hooks for 4×4 activities and recovery.
The earlier 2011 MY models and 2012 MY Trailhawk models were fitted with twin (red) recovery hooks. All others do not have a front recovery hook. It is required by the club that all vehicles that go on club trips must be able to be recovered without damage to humans or vehicles and these vehicles must have a suitable rated recovery hook mounted to the front. The screw in tow hook supplied by Jeep is not rated for recovery usage. It is mandatory that a suitable recovery hook is fitted prior to going on a club trip.

Recovery Bridles
Use of a recovery bridle is not recommended by our training team and we will explain why when you complete your MJOC Training. Some manufactures will try and recommend that one be used for recovery strap use. This is not required for any structural reason, in fact the Mopar recovery hook is a single hook mounted to the chassis and Jeep obviously believe that 2 recovery points are not needed.
