hitch/bumper

I'm wonder if a hitch and bumper from a xj will fit a comanche.

thanks

He is correct, the XJ rear bumper and hitch do not work on the MJ. In fact, finding a new MJ receiver hitch is impossible now that U-Haul quit selling them. Somebody on the forum did manage to mount one of those 'universal' fit receiver hitches on their truck. Here he flipped the receiver to tuck it up behind the bumper instead of allowing it to hang below:

You can get a new rear bumper from Fey, that is tow rated. However, this set up similar to the factory MJ bumper in that it is far to weak to tow anything worth while and will taco the bumper.

The step bumper tow deal is seriously weak. i indeed taco'd mine pulling out some shrubbery with a strap around the ball. It should not have happened and I finsihed the job with my Kj with no issues.

my rear bumper is rusted out terribly and recently got stuck in some snow. lets just say the bumper dosent look so good.
