OK, that's very weird. Try to see if you can open this lower segment of the plastic flap by some cross screws underneath?

 

there are screws (see picture below, they attach to a metal bar, but the plastic black bumper is one piece. The trailer hitch I purchase actually comes right under this bumper.   a 4x4 without back hooks... that would apply a Porsche or RangeRover  . but not a Jeep!

Anyways, think I will pass for this time. and wait to be fully equipped.

Thanks for trying.

Sorry about that, but show us the rear bumper pic, without any flap I still feel we can attach a shackle at least in the eyelet of trailer hitch joint

We do have metal shackle and soft shackle like a small piece of rope that can actually pass through tight eyelet even

here we are.. not much to attach to if you ask me.

@Emil it will be really sad that you will not be able to make it. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

@Olivier Refalo as @skumar83 said we do not leave anybody behind. It will be difficult if you do not have rear tow hooks, on my Jeep Commander 5.7 Hemi I did not have rear tow hook also, but there was a space to attach a tow ball where I could fit the shackles. Please confirm and let us know if there is any space to attach shackles in the back?

As crazy as it is, the jeep grand cherokee is advertised as a real 4x4 but there is NO tow ball placeholders nor hooks in the back! @$@#$@#%@# . really stupid!

I ordered a tailer hitch online, but it won't be ready for this ride. Let me know what you think.

@Olivier Refalo welcome to Carnity and it's offroad club. Good to see such educated and concerned offroad enthusiast who care to read and share the facts before the drive, which saves everyone time and hassle.

Without the tow hook, I'm afraid we can't allow anyone on any offroad drive as tow point is the only place with which we can rescue you in case there is any stuck. Of course, we do have all recovery gears and equipment but without tow point everything is waste, hope you understand that it's for your own good and safety.

There are two nice tow hooks in the front of the car, not in the rear.

I guess I'll have to pass this time around, thank you

Hi, considering joining the clan with my Jeep Grand Cheerokee 5.7. Only point, it doesn't have hooks in the back.

I took a 5h sand driving introduction with Marco a few weeks ago. Can't wait to experience my first real drive.

Would you accept one more car?

Also, I see that the BBQ ends at 9pm, are you considering sleeping over? What about us, newbies left alone in the middle of the desert?

Cheers,
