Ops sorry can't help yet....I've got a towbar to fit to the wife's XJ which I haven't gotten around to doing yet....maybe weekend after next?

I found that the Hayman Reese bar designed for the 97 TJ was actually really well made with close tolerences and very easy to fit - everything lined up.

The slow bit was the wiring.

Hopefully they have got it right for the XJ too.

You dont need to touch the tank at all. I think you are talking about the tank skid instead! Just loosen the skid bolts and slide the towbar in place and bolt it down only after all the bolts are in loose. You might have fun getting the old rear tow hook off as have come across a few that were a real pain. The skid just bolts over the top of the last bolt on the towbar but it bearly needs to bend at all.
