johnj92131 Posted April 1, 2016 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted April 2, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here they want $100 to coat one wheel, I need to find another place. A good friend of mine has a body shop. So as long as its nothing intricate or difficult, he just charges me supply cost.

mikekaz1 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 You'd have to PM Brandon for an email or something. And if he's OK with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
