Check out if the original tow-bar ( if indeed there was one fitted originally fitted) was removed due to a recall by Jeep for an additional cross beam to be fitted. At the time of the recall there wasn't an approved EU tow-bar available, but this may have changed.

The original recall was for Cherokee and Liberty?? which I think we call the Grand Cherokee. Information released at the time listed 2007 onwards Cherokees and 1992 to 98 Grands.
To be fair I have checked the VOSA webb site this morning and cant see the OPs model.
I have seen on Jeep owners webb sites that someone with a Grand subsequently had one of these fitted

and gained approval from his insurance company. He must have had a better relationship with his insurance company than I have ever had!!
While we are on about insurance, don't forget to tick the box which asks if the vehicle has been modified, once you get the tow bar fitted. Very likely it will make no difference to the premium, except they may make charge for updating your policy.

If you look on the P F Jones web site for tow bars it states that the Grand Cherokee of your year is no longer classed as a towing vehicle and tow bars are unavailable.                                           This was due to the recall to remove towbars due to weak back end strength for fitting them.

Looks as though you will be loosing your crown jewels
