On a XJ with no frame you'll rip universal tow hooks right out of the front of it. I've seen it happen twice. I'm selling him my tow hooks that have the frame brackets so they can be mounted securely and not rip out of the unibody frame.

I plated the inside and outside of the frame rails on mine with 1/4" flat stock and they never came out.

If you plate the unibody frame, then yes, the univeral tow hooks would do fine, but I don't remember anybody talking about plating Doug's XJ to put universal tow hooks on it. The tow hook brackets for XJs are basically the same thing as plating the front end since they add more steel to the unibody frame up front and sandwich it.
