Got one of these doohickeys on the front of my jeep, can’t really put a winch there anymore. Thinking about alternative recovery gear, do they make a hand winch strong enough to pull a jeep? Or should I consider a high lift jack to pull me 4ft at a time? Orrr? 5D50C66F-50E2-4C0B-97BB-9BD9603B5538.jpeg

A. Traction Boards.
2. Kinetic strap (if you have a buddy).

Part of me thinks that you're not going to bring that Jeep anywhere close to where you're going to get stuck.

I thought this was a joke until I found the SRT4 neon thread!? I’d go curt hitch and bumper hitch mount. going to want a winch to pull you out of the redbird muck
 
I bought a 97 last year. First thing I did was buy a Warn 9k winch and a mounting plate.

I ignored all the steering, lift, gearing, suspension issues. Getting out is the most important thing. And sure, wheeling with friends is fine...but that doesn't mean they can get you unstuck.

Get a grinder and a cutting wheel...cut off the hoop...spray any bare metal with paint...better yet weld a patch.

Get a winch plate...get a winch.

Or buy a new bumper...
