ZJ Radiator Support and Snatch Point |
A note about patience, from Kevin, a man of *ultimate* patience...not. Folks, PLEASE do not make your life more difficult by scheduling your installation date until ALL of the parts and pieces show up on your doorstep. You laugh, but common sense is NOT common practice! I ask you this as a friend, as invariably, either the shipper, the vendor, or some other person involved will make an error and throw your plan into a tailspin. I get at least one e-mail a month from someone who got impatient and started doing an install, only to find out that they were missing something, or that a vendor was backordered, or the shipper lost the box, or something that throws off their schedule and their daily driver is now torn apart in the driveway, awaiting a part that's not to arrive for another few days. Don't be that guy...you don't have ANY need for that sort of stress, and there is little we can do on our end to assist you if you're in this predicament...except maybe pass along a recommendation for a good rental car company. PLEASE don't put yourself into this situation! Your loved-ones will thank me, lol. |

Are you missing factory tow hooks or looking to free up some ground clearance and approach angle? Have you hit your cheap factory radiator support one too many times and dented it? How does two additional inches of ground clearance under the radiator sound to you? I've designed a replacement radiator support that tucks up out of harm's way and will allow trimming of the front bumper to gain back massive amounts of approach angle (typically 10°~15°) and keeps your radiator from getting damaged at the same time! Most importantly, the kit also includes snatch points, which alone would cost you around $100 + shipping if your Jeep didn't come from the UpCountry Package from the factory. There are other aftermarket tow hook manufacturers selling factory-style tow points for $100 that are not NEAR as strong as our 1/4" thick redundant bracing (pulls off both frame rails at the same time, rather than putting all the forces on one hook separately). To the best of my knowledge, this is the beefiest ZJ tow point (and ONLY fortified radiator support) on the market.

"Here's a posting on our forum that I put up last night mentioning the incident I spoke to you on the phone about and how your radiator support saved the front of my ZJ. <link> Some one posted a few pics of the ordeal. Maybe you can post these on your site. I'll try to get a close up of the mount. It's not even scratched." -John R., Worcester, MA |

This kit includes hardware and everything you need to add 5/8" shackles (3/4" pin) to the front of your Jeep. It's about a 1-2 hour job, comes with all the (Grade 8) hardware you need and requires a 15mm socket with extension. On a difficulty scale from 1-10, this is a 3. Trimming the lower portion of the bumper is not required in order to use the snatch points, but you will have to notch the bumper out so that you can GET to the shackles. Stock fog lights on the '96+ models can be retained in the bumper if you desire. Ships out the next business day if I have them in stock, which I normally do. Protect your radiator, free up some ground clearance, and add snatch points today, before you need them!! Product varies visually slightly from photos due to update in strength. It's a little more low profile now as well.
(special footnote: this product is designed to fit on ZJs with stock bumpers, but it can be modified to fit in conjunction with ARB front bumpers as well as other aftermarket bumpers. Click HERE to find out more.)

Kevin - I bought your ZJ Radiator
Support/Tow Point back in the beginning of August and hadn't
gotten to use it until this past weekend. I was impressed
when I got it in the first place because of the beef
construction. I knew it would definitely protect my radiator
a lot better then the stock tin radiator support. Well
this past weekend I got in a rather deep water hole
