I have a hitch to put on my 2000 cherokee but i need hardware. where's an easy place to get the cherokee specific hardware for my hitch? it has the passenger side nut strips already

 

I just ordered new nut strips for my 01 from JCR Offroad. it was like 44 with shipping it comes with 1/2" hardware also.... OEM strips will cost you 40 for 1 side. Ask for Eric in Shipping Tell Him Jason sent you.

 

They are all Metric, Try Fastenal if you want to stay with factory nut strips.. I blew off the welds on 2 of mine so i wanted something a bit stronger. Factory units have 3 little tick welds holding them in place.. JCR units are welded on 3/4 sides of the new nuts..

 

i have the factory nut strip on the passenger side. i'm looking for the nuts bolts steel plates. any idea where to get those locally? without having to order them online hopefully haha

 

You will need to find some sort of steel plate and a way ti cut a Square hole.. Or call Curt Hitchs and ask them if you can buy a install hardware bag. They have all the square plates and such for the install.. Unless u have a plasma cutter to make your own... only other option is new nut strip.

 

You can buy the nutstrips from the stealership. They are called "sill reinforcement brackets" through Chrysler.

You can also order them from morris 4x4 much cheaper.

If you live anywhere remotely near the rust belt you might want to go ahead and buy both of them as both of my XJ's had nutstrips that were almost completely rusted out.

 

I installed my hitch and only used 2 bolts out of my hardware kit. I have the wire fish and all the mounting plates.. Not sure if they are worth anything. Let me know if you are interested.. OR.. Drive to Grand Junction on March 3rd and go wheeling with us at Bangs Canyon..

 

For the love of all that is holy please tell me you do not use your hitch with two bolts.

 

LOL... I bought new nut strips and they came with 1/2" hardware.. So i just needed 2 bolts .. That made me laugh out loud!
