Well thanks to stealthcherokee i got my knucklebone mounted up original problem was the hitch pin didn't line up and even if i drilled the anti-rattle would effect it...so his idea was put the receiver part in just enough to use the anti-rattle and put a bolt in then use YJ shackles to connect that pin to the other pin thus securing it all:

long as its sturdy itll do the trick ntm i like how your tire sits way lower bc your using a hitch not a reciever on a after market bumper, so the tire wont completely block ur rear window. good looks brotha

This morning went to the mall and did more creeping on clayton3854:




Made a rear license plate bracket today very crude but it'll work then drilled another hole for an added pin on the knucklebone meanwhile a friend was tackling the surface rust on the doors...

Xj looking good man, and it's cool seeing both of them side by side. Clayton3854's build is one of the first I checked out when I got here (cause we both have the same white cherokee. Well... we did lol)
