Ok so I've found cheap $75-$100 trailer hitches on ebay and $240 warrior hitch for my xj. I want one for hauling stuff to the dump every now and than, and to put a d ring reciver on it so I have a safe place to be pulled from if I get stuck. So my question is should I get a cheap hitch or a $240 warrior one? Also would I have to get unibody reinforcers?

 

Shouldn't have too. Link to the cheaper hitch.

Just make sure you got about 4 bolts that tie into the frame in the rear and that it is one solid piece you don't want to get one of those one size fits all hitches.

I bought my hitch for 75 off of either here or NAXJA. Look for people parting out there rides and buy there hitch that is what I did.

Make sure whatever you buy comes with the Nut Strips.

 

This is the one im currently looking at

Looks fine

 

Alright ill get that one then, thanks for the help.

 

most important part is the mounting ,look into nut strips that slide into the frame ...

 

Basically a strip of nuts so I don't have to shove a wrench in the frame?

 

Getting the nuts into the frame, lined up, and a wrench on them can be real interesting.
The hitch should have come with a metal strip with the nuts all spaced out on it.
Some come with nuts mounted to square washers you can slip in place.

I got a used Reese for $40 bucks and thought I got a deal, but with no hardware I dropped almost that much again on 5/8" grade 8 nuts. bolts, washers, lock and fender washers.

I ended up putting the bolts in from above, it made the process easier.

You're also going to have to drill the holes in the "frame" and you may need to get the tailpipe out of the way.

Get psyched, it's going to be an event.

 

Ohh I can't wait lol, I'll make sure I get hardware with it.
