Tow hitch on 99 sport
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.

What about what i was saying about the piece pf metal in the frame rail. Even if i got a hitch i can only actually bolt it in to one 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...
