      get yourself a trailer hitch and put a shackle recevier in it and get some towhooks w/brackets for the front or if you can swing it a good front bumper.

        You could just go all hick life and wrap a chain(must be a chain) on the inside of the bumper around the mounts. Seen this done 3 times and make me lol every time. If you enjoy constant large metallic clanging sounds and death while attempting to recover than this recovery method is for you.
        But really clean4drxj's idea is a good one but in terms of time you can just pick up those little hooks that tie into frame rails, the are just hooks so they kind of suck but still they are cheap and easy to install.

            Autozone carry's a hitch that will work for like $120. When I had it on mine I flipped it and cut out the bumper so it sat a little higher, which would only work with one of those cheaper hitches that slide to fit different vehicles. But, if your really worried that seems like the best bet, You can have it in today.

              Trailer hitch is good for the rear and towhooks for the front are the cheapest and easiest ways to go.

                advance auto parts carries bolt on tow hooks (10,000 lb rating) for $10.40 a piece retail

                receiver hitch in rear - $120 retail

                reciever hitch tow ring - $47

                $187 + tax retail

                -OR- if you order online with free instore pickup

                it will cost you $137+tax (use discount code VISA )



                OR just order 4 tow hooks for 41.56 + tax (order online using discount code BIG15 and it will only be 26.56 + tax



                for a cheap fix, 4 reese 10,000 lb tow hooks for $26.56 + tax would be my option. even if you spent a little extra money on some Square/rectangle tubing to beef up unibody rails it would still be cheap

                      not hard to make though, add reinforment plates to side of unibody rail near tow hook and double up using stock bumper mounts.
