RE: GUESS WHO
Toe hooks? I think my wife has one of those...nasty!
Tow hooks though. I have a 04 TJ X. From the factory it came with 2 front tow hooks attached to the stock bumper. They go ON TOP of the front bumper just above the rubber bump stops. They'll attach with two large torx head bolts each side that go through the bumper into the front frame rails.
As for the rear, their is one factory tow hook. It's just to the left of the gas tank skid plate. It attaches to the frme rail with two bolts. One of those bolts also holds on the bumper.
If you're going to use factory hooks, then I say try and snag some off e-bay. Try to get the bolts as part of the deal. That way they not only fit but are rated correctly.

RE: transmission help now please
It came with the Jeep when I bought it. Got me out of a mudhole when she was 6 days old. I've probably still got it laying around somewhere if you're interested - no bolts, though, but I don't think you'll need them.....I'll have to crawl under and check (she's due for an oil change anyway).

RE: EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!!
i've seen stock yj front hooks mounted to the outside rear frame rails... works great on TJ's (bolted thru w/sleeves to keep from compressing the frame tubes) - probably wont work w/the stock rear bumper (clearance) but satisfies alot of new reg's about bolted -vs- welded extraction points (they dont like welded due to inept welders)... just my $.02

hey a suck at math too
Frosty, if you are planning on getting a hitch, simply use a hitch pin as a spot to hook the tow strap.
You need them anyways for a ball-mount. Just make sure you get one that's rated for a high enough load. That's what I always use with my Chevy, and I've pulled just about everything out of the mud...and been pulled out with it from some pretty nasty stuff!
