If you have an X model without front tow hooks, but want to add them, I suggest you also buy 4 of the tow hook reinforcement plates. They are part number 52126153-AA (about $4 each). Without these, your tow hooks may rip right out if you ever try to use it for recovery purposes. Of course, if you are just looking to add them for aesthetics, this doesn't matter, but thought you may want to know about this part number if you want the tow hooks to have the proper (factory) strength when bolted to the frame in front.

Front tow hooks, I can't help you, I ordered my X with front tow hooks. Rear? You don't need a hitch receiver with D ring. I got the towing package and use just the pin with a strap through it. I've strapped out everything from a CJ, to a TJ, to a 1 ton Dodge 4WD mega cab numerous times. An access point that can handle the load and a strap is all you need.

tow hook reinforcement plate
LakeTravisJK, hopefully I can figure out an attachment. All I have is the picture from the PureJeep bumper install, but it is the black metal plate in the top right corner of the picture (assuming the attachment worked).
