my jeep came without Trailer Hitches (Hitch Receive) or not even the FRONT TOW HOOKS ( the two near the fogs ) !!

there is nowhere to hook up safely. this is why it is very important to be prepared when going wheeling.
you need front and rear tow points, it's a must.

call someone with proper recovery gear.
if the stuck vehicle has no tow points either, then you'll have to call a tow truck.

Looks like you may just have to rip that *B out and hope you don't break anything.

I would wrap a strap around the front bumper right at a mount point. One time around on one side of the mount and another on the other side. This way it can't move left/right. Be gentle, but might F-up your bumper anyway. 3 bolts in the frame and 2 in the bumper. Might F-up your bumper.

There's a hole I use a tie-strap to hold up my swaybar when disconnected. I'm not sure if it's large enough to get a decent size rope through.
