I just got a tow hitch with no hardware I need to know what I will need to install it on my 94 cherokee

 

nut strips and 8 bolts

 

What r nut strips and what size bolts?

 

doesn't matter as long as they match and for your hitch and the holes in the frame rails.

nut strips are a piece of metal with nuts welded to it - it goes inside the frame so you have something to bolt to.

where can i get a tow hitch? I found a bumper that has one in it... but i dont have that kind of cash lol

 

I got mine off a guy on here but uhall has them if u have money

 

I ordered mine on amazon. Reese Class III

This one fits a 99 XJ:

 

How do I insert the nut strips?

 

take the bumper off and slide them in from the back. May be able to do it with the bumper on too

 

Oh ok what about welding it on?

 

Don't. Bolt it on so you can remove it for adding a gas tank skid or bumper in the future - they use the same mount points.

 

You can get nutstrips from the dealer, morris 4x4, or JCR.

You have to pull the rear bumper and you will find access holes to slide the nutstrips into.

You can take the nutstrip to any hardware store and get the correct bolts to use.

For the guy looking for a hitch, look on craigslist or a junkyard. I've gotten 3 of them from junkyards and paid no more than $20 for any of them.

DON'T WELD IT!

a) it's not easily removed
b) your gas tank is right next to it <1in away
c) that's really thin sheetmetal to be welding a load bearing hitch to
d) it would take you longer to weld it without warping the frame rails then it would take to bolt it up
