There are plenty of later model jeeps that have had problems with tow bar mounts.
XJ frames are not exactly a truck chassis as you well know.

Good Luck ! hope you get it home ok.
Im getting some plates made up so i can get home
Hopefully i dont get ripped hard for being a stupid tourist.

I've been guilty myself of thinking all the mods I do have a positive increase in performance but I was lucky enough a lot of years ago to use a mates engine & chassis dyno which changed my mind..... I'm now into increasing air velocity/fuel mix & improving exhaust scavenging on my street engines...login to power block TV website because there is hundreds of hour of builds in Xtreme 4x4 + Horse Power (engine builds). Its all about using the correct components to improve the efficiency of the air pump, that's how I look a engine, its just one that makes HP/Torgue..... Old Blu on a long trip was returning between 9.8>10.5L/100k on 95oct
What???

You mean, do something, PROPERLY??????


You're having a laugh aren't you, the internet is not for doing things correctly...

How was this attached?
Is it mounted to the underside of the rails and bolted up into the factory nutstrips?

So decided to give the jeeps engine bay a quick wash while i was at the car wash. End result was getting towed home because it would pop the engine control 2 fuse as soon as it starts up.

Im struggling for info on what this actauly runs to after googling because its now raining and not simply going to dry itself out
