I want to put a tow hitch on my 99 Sport.
I picked one up from a guy on craigslist, but its a little too wide.
I also noticed theres like a piece of steel inside the frame where the hitch bolts on, Mine only has one on one side and its the side of the exhaust
So my questions:
What tow hitches will fit on my jeep?
Do i need to find another piece of steel and fit it in the frame somehow?
Basically, How can i put a tow hitch on my 99 sport?

Punch in your info. and search trailer hitch. When the hitches come up click on the blue part # and it will show you what vehicles it fits.

Passenger Side: Theres a mount for the exhaust and some threaded holes



The driver side:

As has been said above you can get those nut inserts from jcr offroad and also from morris 4x4. As for the hitch itself, go to a junkyard and yank one off an xj. I paid $12 for my hitch...
