Im looking into buying a hitch for the jeep to tow a jetski and maybe a jet boat. I would also use it as a recovery point for my jeep. Is it a bad idea to buy a hitch used? I woudlnt buy one with a ton of rust but i cant afford a new one. Ive seen some decent ones at junkyards also. Lastly will a hitch from 84-96 work on my 2000?

 

A used Class III will work fin for you as for the yrs I'm not sure, but I do have one that I removed from my 1999 XJ when I replaced the rear bumper a Class III. Its in VG shape if interested contract me with a PM I'm in MO.

 

im in michigan so that wont work. thanks though.

 

im trying to get an OEM hitch off of my neighbor's XJ. its slow going since i need to borrow a hand grinder from someone to get the bolts off, but the hitch itself isnt too bad. if it isnt crumbling apart or something like that, id use it.

 

do i need to have nut strips in order to install a hitch?

 

yes.. i used this one on my last XJ
