Hi i have a 2wd expy and go offroading and have yet to get stuckk. I am worried if i do i will have no tow hooks on the front and only a trailer hitch in the back. I was wondering if anyone would happen to have an idea of where i would attach the straps with out harming my car oe if there are hooks somewhere.

On the back, you can hook it around the tongue of the bumper. I would try to find a place to wrap the strap around the frame to pull on the front. I always carry heavy duty shackles with me as well, makes it much easier to hook the eye of the strap back into itself rather than putting the strap through the eye and pulling the rest of the slack through again.

Why not just add some tow hooks to the front frame horns?
If you like the stock look, I'm sure you can find a set at just about any junk yard.
If it doesn't matter, then any off road web site or store should have tow hooks for under $25

either trim it or get the valance off of a 4wd model.... they are fairly cheap and only bolt on
I would trim the valance to allow the hooks to be used but mess around with the valance before you cut it.....

but if you go out and dont have the hooks yet, make sure your tow strap has a hook on it. the front part of the frame has holes that will fit perfect in there. and as for the rear hook it on the hitch, but not the ball.
