Personally; with no recovery points, I would not take it out anywhere I thought it would even remotely have a chance of getting Stuck.
Also pulling from the Axles is a Bad Idea.

first rule of wheeling, never go out alone.
second rule of wheeling, front and rear recovery points are mandatory.
third rule of wheeling, have/use your own recovery strap.
etc.

there should be no exceptions. so do everyone in your group a favour.

I'm kind of new to this. Would receiver mounted shackles be used as recovery points? My Cherokee has a hitch on the front and the back, so that would sure simplify things for me.

font/rear hitches make excellent recovery points.
yes, receiver mount shackle will fit the bill.

they towed it to my uncles shop and he said it was fine. the only thing wrong is thaat the plastic bumper on my rear quarter panel is destroyed and my rear axle might be bent. but that just gives me an excuse to get rid of my pos dana 35
