Junkyard Question
Im looking for a bolt on hitch.
Would any Grand Cherokees fit my 96 Cherokee country?
Just wanting to know what my options are when searching.
Thanks

you can just go on any site that sells a hitch new and it should say what years it fits or will work on, or look at the part# for your year and then the # of a newer one. only problem you may have is getting the damn bolts out of the uni body and getting them back in. when you buy a new hitch it comes with a little spring tool to fish them in. i looked around for a used one here in pa but found them to be to rusted for me to use so I picked one up from jcwhitney for like $130 and it came with a drop reciever.

I took one off an 90 and put it on my 97 no problem. Just have to remember to get the bolts out of the "frame" tube. To do that, you have to take the whole damn bumper off.

I have been under a many ZJ to look for this, the Grand Cherokee will not fit. Too wide and the pattern is different. Finding that I had the nut strip on mine was a heck of a relief because I didn't have to put the rest of the bolts in the "frame." Which is a hum dinger. Oh, and as far as price... Got mine at a u-pull yard for $18. It's a drawtite receiver, with ball, hitch, pin, and wiring harness. The guy cut me a hell of a deal. I highly suggest wrench-a-part in Austin, Tx.
