i have a hitch that the previous owner claims to be an OEM part. i need the hardware kit to install it but can't find it. where can i buy one? on my particular xj, the frame doesn't have the threaded nut on the passenger side. the hitch has 2 mounting holes on each side

You will need these: http://www.jcroffroad.com/mm5/mercha...ct_Code=NTSTRP

 

Yep,this is what you need.Beefier & cheaper than what Jeep would sell you if they weren't obsolete.

Cheaper than JCR, I just ordered mine with their low profile shackle relocations.

Great guys as well

 

is it true that xj's came with a hitch from factory? and are the bolt patterns for both kits "universal"? as in will they fit my hitch easily?

 

From the factory- not sure,from the dealer-anything is possible.

 

Some did come with factory hitches, both kits are designed to be run in the rear of an xj as well. You have to remove the rear bumper and place the nut strips inside the uni body above the corresponding holes in the frame.

 

waiting for a shipping quote from both guys since yesterday...lowest price gets my money lol
