Hi, I am new to this site. I am looking for a receiver hitch (class III 2" square) that would be a direct bolt in. I am located in CA and would prefer a pre-existing hitch or any leads on a good shop that can make me one in Nor Cal at a reasonable price. Thank You, Bill

Hi, The 02 Jeep hitch, was it for a liberty or grand cherokee? Did you use a specific brand? What modifications did you have to make? How low from the ground is it? Thanks, Bill

P.S... I've searched ebay and the net... but have mostly found '78-'87 hitches. The one person who did have a hitch in my area threw it away last month! Oh Well.

I do not know what jeep the junkyard just had 02 jeep on it. It was about inch narrower than the frame on the elky. I just cut off the mounting steel weld on the angle iron. You can hold it togther with clamps to fit it how ever you want. I made mine is just under the bumper looks good and works great
