ok guys i have tried to search the write ups and cant find any. I have two questions if you could help me out. One is, how do you mount a brush bar, or ram bar whatever you call it. I have dry fitted it to see how it goes and can not find a way that makes sense. The other is i just mounted a trailer hitch, but how and where do i attach the wiring for the plug? any information would be great. Thanks

Also. it is a 96 xj sport

 

First of all, does your Jeep have tow hooks? If not, there are holes in the frame for the tow hook brackets to bolt to and I believe some brands bolt to those brackets.

If it does have hooks, the tow hooks may need to come off to make way for the brush guard...

 

no it does not have tow hooks. i want to put some on the bar

 

about the trailer wiring, i will trace mine and get back to you tomorrow afternoon/evening, unless somebody else just knows

 

has anyone installed either one of these?

 

Is the brush bar specifically for an XJ or is it generic or for another vehicle? Posting a pic may help identify the company and you might be able to contact them to find out how/if you can mount it. I wouldnt mount tow hooks to the brush bar unless it was specifically designed for them. If it wasn't the mounting may not be adequate to do recovery.

As far as the trailer wiring you should be able to splice it right into the tail light wiringing. Should be pretty easy if you have a wiring diagram to show what color wires control what light.

 

yep. my flat 4 trailer wire is wired into the drivers side tail light. will look at the wires tonight if i get a chance. i mean if it stops raining over here

 

yeah its made for a xj. I dont have a camera for pics thow.

 

do you have a cam phone and an email adress? if so you can send pics from your phone to your email and then save them to your computer from there

 

ive got a 89 and i have a Uhaul trailer wire hookup... you just unplug the stock wire harness on the left side behind all the plastic and hook this in its place... thats whay i did on my ZJ also... it was already on my XJ... you can just splice into the wires and it would be cheaper... but which ever will work... i cant remember what i paid for my kit for the ZJ... got it off ebay though...
