Your Denville-area Jeep dealer knows that Jeep is the best brand of vehicle you can take off road. Since the early days, Jeeps have been designed with the idea that they can get anywhere.
One of the things to think about when taking your Jeep off road is how to get your jeep unstuck in those instances where it becomes stuck. This process, known as recovery, can be accomplished in one of two ways, with either a front hitch or with tow hooks.
Tow hooks have a fairly small footprint, and they look like standard equipment. However, they’re not always the best way to get unstuck. When you use tow hooks for recovery, you have to take care of the angle you use so they don’t break or bend. In addition, when you use tow hooks, your Jeep is only being pulled one side at a time. Tow hooks are ideal if you don’t get stuck very often.
The serious off road enthusiast needs something more extreme, however. A front hitch provides much more stable and reliable recovery. It isn’t likely that a front hitch will break or even bend. However, it does hang lower than tow hooks and lessens your approach angle. Still, a front hitch is idea for when you expect to do a lot of recovery.
