I had a brush guard just like that. I sold it to my uncle, who cut the bottom crossmember out, and replaced it with a hitch. Now he uses it to tow his 4 engine hemi pulling tractor around.

Hello all, im new to the forum and new to owning an 87 jeep cherokee (bought back in march) and as of today i have discovered that im somewhat mechanically inclined,being a 41 yr old single woman,i have impressed myself today. I was having some leakage from my bottom radiator hose and called around to see how much it would cost to get it fixed...needless to say to much for my pocket,so i decided to take it upon myself to take on this task...long story short, when i took the hose off the bottom of the radiator,the neck came out/with the hose.so i call around explain what happened and was told that it has to welded back together and that that cant be done unless the radiator is taken out...so i did just that and am now as i type this(still up to my elbows inn grease and grime ) am waiting for a man from a shop to come take a look at it and tell me if it can be fixed...ill give an update when i can.

well it could be welded i guess but the steel is so thin that's a crapshoot. You should probably plan on replacing the radiator instead. You can get a decent 2 row radiator for ~$100 from performanceradiator.com or other sites

Welcome to the forum. Most tasks are easier than they look.
