Default Rusty's Rear Receiver Hitch

Has anyone installed the rear receiver hitch that Rusty's Offroad products has for the '84-'01 XJ? I called and they said that it bolts into the unibody where the factory hitch would, using 3 bolts on each side. Can anyone confirm that this is a true bolt-on? Thanks

The factory trailer hitch/gastank skid uses nut strips inside the sub-frame rails rather than loose bolts. You can make your own.
