I am assuming they go in between the hooks and the sheet metal bumper. They must push the hook out far enuf to align with the cutout in the plastic bumper. Yes?

I guess it all depends on how much plastic to remove. Anyone have a picture of the back of a plastic bumper that had hooks?

Thanks. I'll take a peek at one of the jeeps in the parking lot. I should be able to see the backing plates.
To me it soes not make sense, as the plates would be backing a 1/4" thick mounting plate on frame. Also the mounting plate on frame has smaller holes. But thats Christ....ler.
EDIT: Just went out and looked at a jeep with hooks, and you are right....that is where they are. I ended up putting them (2 on each side )
on to push out the plastic bumper. That means that I did not hog out enuf plastic to clear the hooks. So it looks like the whole vertical area where the hook is has to be cut out. I only cut out the horizontal and a little of the vertical to get it together. Awe......shucks. I think I will leave it for now.
