johnj92131 Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Cruiser, I like what you did there! Looks like you had to cut and splice the 2 WJ/ZJ hitches together. I had toyed with picking up a Grand Cherokee hitch just for the square tubing and using Krustyballers hitch plates to bolt it on to the Comanche.
cruiser54 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Posted April 1, 2016 93 Grand cherokee aftermarket hitch. The GC's rear bumper brackets supply 2 of the 3 nuts for a nut strip, with some cutting involved. One of the 2 holes is off a bit so I had to drill a new hole on each side. The GC's side brackets where they bolt up to the frame are the same as xJs if that helps. I needed to extend each side as the MJ's frame rails are further apart. Used 2.5 heavy square tubing (2.5" ID) to sleeve it together.
mikekaz1 Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 I just finished this today. $60 for the plates from Brandon, $20 for the 2.5" tube, $20 for the receiver and $20 for powder coat.

fiatslug87 Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 ...and $20 for powder coat. That's a great deal! Around here they want $100 to coat one wheel, I need to find another place.

So you attached to the underside of the MJ frame rails rather than to the sides? About how much did you have to stretch the hitch?

mikekaz1 Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 You'd have to PM Brandon for an email or something. And if he's OK with that.
