Default Rear hitch fitment

Does anyone know of a rear hitch from a different vehicle that will fit my '93 cherokee? None of the junkyards around here have one and it's not worth dishing out the $300 for a new one.

You can get hitches on EBAY for less than $200. I think a Reese is like $150 at Walmart. I've not found an interchangable hitch yet. ZJ hitch is close, but still requires some modifications.

See i'm in Canada and shipping to here is rediculous. So online stores aren't good. Plus I only have about 40 dollars to spend on this in the budget.

Modifying a hitch makes me uneasy. I don't want to be driving down the highway and loose my trailer.

good luck finding a hitch for $40. Usually junkyard charge $60-90 for one.

Then you better save your coin and buy one when you can afford it.

Do it right the first time, not the second.
