mikekaz1 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 No actually the "triangle" fender support goes in that big hole. The smaller slot just next to it is the sway bar. I never measured it with my gauge guide. But id say mines atleast 1/4in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stDeuce Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks for the pic!! So the plate extends back and grabs the frame through-hole that that tow hook brackets use. That pretty much takes the place of what I referred to as a kicker on my TJ, and just takes to rotational load of the very front of the frame, were the three bumper bolt holes go. Intersting that only two bolts hold the lower cross frame to the side plates, and they're fairly close together... My TJ mount uses three, and they're much more spread out. But for sure overkill... As is all of the Meyer mount system. Then again, if it never breaks, it was at least built heavy enough, right? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 ya these are the original side plates from 1989 haha. definitely well built. I'm not sure what the hole just infront of the cross frame is for, nothing was there when i bought the jeep. or what that ~1" hole just behind the big one is for.... and how overkill that large hole is for its puropse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stDeuce Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The 1" hole is probably to clear the steering box bolt on RHD models. Check your LH plate to see if anything is there. They just use two of the same plate, so it doesn't matter if your truck is RHD or LHD. (Many RHD cherokees out there!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
