How can I mount these
Today I got in my Reese front tow hooks. A couple guys said they were running them n their Commanders, and I cannot figure out how to mount them. Can anyone post pics they are required for the trail run this weekend. Need Help! Do I need to drill new holes to make these fit?

This looks more like the factory Mopar tow hooks. The reese ones did not come with the three point mounting plate. The ones i got are generic, 2 hole 2 bolt mount to the frame kind, I was hoping someone else had tried it. They were $10 so I couldnt pass them up.

that is exactly what I did. I used the guide to remove the facia and then drilled another hole to bolt the hook on.
I have used them several times, to pull other people out. I have had no issues.
Gotcha, did you use the supplied hardware? or have to go buy new bolts/

Here are pics of mine installed
I used all Grade 8 hard ware and lock tight on the threads. The bolt closest to the front had to be drilled there was no hole and yes I have used them got pulled out on a angle buy a F250 they held up fine.
I did the same thing Sal did and used the hardware provided.
Always buy new grade 8 hardware. it'll cut down on flying objects.
Mine are mounted in the same holes as Sal's, but the tip of the hook faces down because the ones I used had the spring strap retainer.
The only thing I would do different is get a piece of metal to act as a giant washer that both the bolts would go thew like a backing plate. I'll probably do that when I switch to a shackle setup.
