Jeep Wrangler

there’s two covers right behind the steering wheel on the column. i need to take off the top one

You need to remove the ignition barrel to get the top one off. There is an access hole on the lower shroud that lines up with a button that needs to be depressed. With the key in the ignition, turn it to the on position. Press the button in with a punch or screwdriver and pull the ignition barrel out. Remove the shroud and if the battery is still connected put the barrel in place and turn it off till you need to refit the shroud.

Would like to help a friend move. Told her I have a tow hook in case she wants to get a trailer for her things. But the stock tow hitch just looks like a hook. How do you use it?

Thank you in advance!
Had no idea … thanks G-man!

Those hooks are made to either you pull someone out or get pulled out yourself from a mud hole, ditch Etc. Not for a trailer. They are made for "snap straps" A nylon band made for pulling cars/trucks Etc. You will need a trailer hitch with a ball. Most Wranglers do not use/have these do to the short wheel base but some do for smaller trailers. Good Luck.:-)
