NHMJXJ Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Anyone know what this stuff is? Looks like a receiver hitch on the front of this XJ. Is it to tow the Jeep itself, or does it serve some other purpose? There's also a fairly large blue connector. I was guessing that was to hook it to an RV lighting system? Finally, what's on the head liner? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jeep-Cherokee-SPORT-/381305879819?forcerrptr=true&hash=item58c799fd0b&item=381305879819#ht_38666wt_925
Jeep Driver Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 My Curt receiver just came today, too tired to install it tonight. Recovery point. But in the case of the XJ, yeah, might have been behind a RV.
jimoshel Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Lots 'of people with boats mount a receiver hitch on the front of their trucks so they can drive forward while loading, unloading their boat.
Minuit Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Looks like a really nicely cared for XJ. Wonder how that hitch is mounted.
Incommando Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I have seen several but I have never looked at the mounting. I have seen more than one used for a winch mount
dunnc1991 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I have seen several but I have never looked at the mounting. I have seen more than one used for a winch mount I agree with this. Blue plug looks a lot like a winch plug.
NHMJXJ Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 The seller's not much help. The response was, "I don't know, sorry". One would think they might have that information. :shake:
Blue88Comanche Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 From Amazon CURT Front Mount Receiver Hitches Front mount receiver hitches provide a convenient mount for hitch accessories and allow for easy maneuvering at the boat launch or campground. CURT uses precision robotic welding for superior strength and fit. CURT front mount hitches have a gross trailer weight capacity of up to 5,000 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs. They have a straight line pull capacity of 9,000 lbs. Like all CURT hitches, my bet is one of the last owners had a 2" reciver Winch carrier
NHMJXJ Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks Blue ... and all! Anyone want to guess what the tracks on the headliner are? Clothing rack? :dunno: You can use the magnifier on the pictures on eBay.
