JEEP Jamboree... Are D-Rings acceptable as tow hooks?

Hello, I have a 97 jeep wrangler and i have signed up for the mohawk trail trip fr october 2004. It says that tow hooks must be "mounted to the frame with grade eight bolts according to MOPAR instructions." I have recently purchased a rear rock bumper/ tire carrier which has D-Ring shackle mounts welded to the bumper. The bumper itself is mounted to the frame at 6 different points, and it seems sturdy enough. Could i be turned away at registration at the Jamboree? THanks Derek Proctor

I doubt it. The ones that I have been too just look for a good place to hook up a strap - tow hook, shackle, etc. The point is to have tow points. If you are really unsure, e-mail JeepJam about it.

They certainly 'do' check that kind of stuff if you want to run a trail!

D-rings are even better than hooks in my opinion. Hooks can bend open, d-rings can't.

Don't know about your Jeep jam, but the one I've been to twice only has front tow hooks as required, rear optional.
