I work for a guy who owns his own inflatables company (bounce houses and such), and he told me that he would buy me a class 3 hitch and everything i need for it, so I could tow some units and stuff. Its a win win cuz I get a free hitch, and he doesnt have to buy another truck. Just a couple questions:

1. I will need nut strips right?
2. How do I wire the hitch to the brake lights and all that?
3. Should I get a tranny cooler? I'll be towing no more then like 1600 pounds on the occasional summer weekend.
4. He told me to pick out the hitch I want. I don't want to take him for a ride, so whats a reasonable price? Should I just get one of those auto zone universal, or actually get one made for my jeep?

Thanks for the help

i have a hidden hitch that looks really good, it was in a kit, came with everything, i dont remember the model or anything though :/ hidden hitch is definatly a more attractive approch to adding a hitch, i dont know much else about the subject though

to wire in trailer lights, you would just get a 4-Pin connector from wally world, (Green,yellow,brown,white). the kit should come with in instructions on how to hook it up, it just splices into your tail light wires. and personally i would run a tranny cooler, but i would buy that myself and not put that bill on him

Thats exactly what I was thinking.

I found a hidden hitch on quadratec for 165, and 7 dollars for a no cutting t splitter for the lights. Sound reasonable?

you got a link on the hitch?

Get a badass rear bumper with a hitch mount. :P

I'd get one made for a cherokee. You can find them in scrapyards.
