I'm looking to buy a hitch for my 99 Cherokee primarily for a bike rack, but also the rare occasional towing. Where is a good place to look and how do I know what all will fit?

Thanks

 

Walmart sells universal ones if you want cheap. Easy to install, lots of extra parts. I have had mine for 2 years and still going.

 

you can find them on craigslist pretty often around here as well.

 

Check your local jy. I pulled one from a '93xj to put on my '00. All I had to do was get the nut strip for the drivers side. Total cost about $70

I can't say that I have snatched one, but every single XJ that I have seen in the jy, has one.

n. 1. the act or process of fabricating; manufacture.


just sayin

 

pretty sure acquiring all the necessary tools to make one will easily be more expensive than finding one.

I've been looking on craigslist recently. How can I be sure one will fit my vehicle before buying?

 

You missed my point completely.....you posted in fabrication

Just sayin'


EDIT: BTW, I'm just bustin' yer chops, don't be offended.....

 

I got mine at the JY for $60 it was a heavy duty uhaul I pulled out of an xj.

 

Picked mine up at a swap meet for $25, repainted it, and bought new nutstrips from JCR offroad [Which I highly recommend] which I think were $40

Also, if you have a factory gas tank skid, have fun getting it out. If you don't, install one with the hitch
