Default Step bumper receiver
First off - I'd like to start off with saying that I don't plan on towing anything. Ever.

I got a free hitch mount bike rack and snowboard/ski rack, but I don't want to spend a ton of money on a receiver just for that.
Has anyone mounted one of these on their XJ? Name: uk4tq.jpg Views: 5 Size: 7.2 KB

If so, can anyone offer advice on mounting this thing and if there are any things to look out for? Any advice would be appreciated.

Not a good idea! I wouldn't trust putting any kind of weight on the bumper they are not very sturdy.
