Damn wish I had the cash.
My plan is new leafs, sliders, shocks, some quick discos, and new wheels and that should put me in good shape for the trip

If you have a hitch that will work for the back, For the front just pull some hooks and brackets off one in the JY for the front, at least that's what I would do....

It doesn't even have a hitch, there was a weak one in the back when I bought it. It looked pretty weak so I just trashed it

You should be able to find a hitch & hooks for real cheap at the junk yard. Tear a part has half placed wed. If you can swing it!

I didn't know this until I searched Cherokee recovery points on Google... lol but cherokee's came with factory rear tow hook as an option... I would get the front from a junk yard for sure as its the cheapest way. the rear is on ebay if you don't want a hitch. (doubt you'll come across one in a JY but you could!)

After further reading it looks like they where more common on older xj's (80's)

Hell depending on what the junk yard wants for those hooks... we could make that bracket to mount it to the back. & beef

yeah kinda surprised me. If i didn't have a hitch or bumper to tie into I would rock a factory rear hook lol, really not a bad price for a recovery setup at 35$ shipped lol but free or 8$ at the JY would be better lol!

P.S. if you want to go JY hunting I would be willing to come along and help... anytime on Sundays work well for me. (need a spare drive-line and axle shafts lol)

Most of the time it ends up being about 500-600 for food, gas, lodging ect, if nothing breaks... having extra is good if you need a tire/wheel, axle, ect.

What is your setup? that would dictate what should be on hand... but mostly u-joints (drive-line/axle) spare shafts depending on tire size, correct size spare tire. jack, tools. fluids blah blah blah lol
