Would you recommend getting this trailer hitch?

[robfg67]

Found one at a junk yard via carpart.com. 

 

They emailed me back that they are not sure if it is an OEM part and has surface rust.

 

I know it's not much go on, but this should just bolt right up to my MJ?

 

They are asking $75.

If it's just surface rust, I'd go for it

I’d get the bumper too. Doesn’t look bad and completely restorable.

no such thing as an OEM MJ hitch.   just make sure it mounts in the proper way and not some shade-tree mechanic way.   

[robfg67]

Thanks for all the responses.

 

It's located at an out of state JY, so I can't put eyes on it.

 

I can ask if they can send me a picture of how it attaches.

I'm interested in the tail gate cap.  Not sure how to see or acquire that particular one if it's good.  Is there a link or a way to inquire about that one.  thx

[robfg67]

Yeah, it's at B&W Salvage in Metter GA.

Georgia!? I’m surprised @Pete M hasn’t grabbed the bed already.

Right, he's probably planning the trip now!

  nah, I'm stuck in Michigan right now.    going to be a while before I can even think about it.

I’m curious what this is:

 

I’d talk to Krusty about his hitches, see if it’s worth the drive vs just getting one shipped. 

But the truck looks to be in pretty decent shape, might be other good parts to rob off it if it hasn’t been picked clean already. Seems to have a pretty full collection of chrome trim bits, with the bed rails, tailgate cap, wind deflectors, running boards…it all looks aftermarket but indicates a truck someone took some pride in.

probably the tip of the exhaust pipe.

[gogmorgo]

 Guess I could see that. 
Looks a little more to me like a d-ring tab or something but the resolution is pretty low. 

[Pete M]

ooo!  didn't think of that.  I can see that as a possibility.
