Where are you? (I'm on app). I have a mopar one on my jeep that I'm never going to use and going to build a rear bumper with a built in receiver.

Hey man, first off welcome to the forums... I checked out your build thread - good job on such a rare find!

As far as your question... you may wanna either ask your question here -> https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/ask...7/#post2343452

or start a new thread in the fabrication section that you're in right now

people get a little touchy on forums when you start asking questions that aren't specifically related to the original poster's project - they call it hijacking

What are they demensions of the bracket that attached to the stock bumper mounting locations?

Not too sure I can't get a tape measure to fit in. You can order precut plates from some websites that you weld the bumper to
