xjrev10 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Posted September 22, 2010 They are nearly extinct for the comanche I had to make my own as I tried finding a New one but no Luck and the used one I did find was no good... Good luck finding a good one.. i am a welder by trade and could fab one up in half a day for the truck. In Minnesota it is illegal to even weld on factory built reciever hitch. If I was to ever get in an accident involving me towing a trailer, they might look and see whats going on with the hitch and who the manufacturer is. Long shot yes but you never know in this day and age.
Jeepman Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Ahhh Well that sucks for sure Well I hope the one that was posted is in good shape... And I hope your factory bumper is in good shape as well because the hitch needs to bolt onto your factory step bumper...

And I hope your factory bumper is in good shape as well because the hitch needs to bolt onto your factory step bumper... nope its junk. but you can still buy new rear bumpers if you look hard enough
Jeepman Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 There are No OE rear MJ bumpers available anymore unless there is a NOS one hideing in a Junkyard or such as I have access to Mopars Inventory and there is nothing available or I would have them here and I had to use a Fey aftermarket bumper which is a nice bumper and similar in design but in order to use it with the Reciever hitch you would need to make up a spacer plate to sandwhich between the bumper and the hitch...

Jeepman Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 Well let me know if you can find second New OE rear Bumper...
shelbyluvv Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 I have a NIB OEM bumper sitting on the shelf in the garage! :eek: :bowdown: :clapping: :hijack:
blusteve Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 The hitch I had posted for sale is rusty and has a few holes, not in the greatest shape, does bolt to factory step bumper and bolts are frozen

And I hope your factory bumper is in good shape as well because the hitch needs to bolt onto your factory step bumper... The receiver/hitch does not "need" to be bolted to the factory step bumper! The factory bumper has no strength to add to the receiver/hitch at all. Try tapping your factory bumper with a hammer. See what it takes to "mark" the bumper. Then take the same hammer and smash the receiver/hitch as hard as you can, see what that does to the hitch - answer - not a darn thing.

The factory bumper has no strength to add to the receiver/hitch at all. Well the MJ Hitch is Designed to Work with a factory Bumper... It is a choice to not bolt it to the bumper but that is the way the MJ Hitch is designed to be installed which is why I said you should have a good condition bumper… Anyone can decide to not do anything they like but that does not mean that was how it was intended for use… OP.... Have you found a hitch Yet? I found this one Available but pricey... http://www.carpartsplanet.com/product.p ... t=0&page=1
mjtjnj Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 To the OP: Go to Uhaul, they will install a class III hitch for less than $150.
