1999 - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ Hidden Winch Mount. 9th Anniversary Edition. 

Front Tow Hitch Receiver w/ D-Ring Shackle Tabs (HEAVY DUTY) for Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ 1999 - 2004, Grand Cherokee WK 2005 - 2010, Jeep Commander XK 2006 - 2010 (fits CRD and Gasoline Models)

The Idea: To have a removable winch mounted to a tow receiver plate with solid D-Rings attachments. Recessed design, low overhang with minimal approach angle loss. To be mounted behind factory bumpers. The front tow receiver has many uses and comes in quite useful. 100% Bolt On.

In Summary as stated by a fellow Jeeper, "You guys just put all front tow hitch manufacturer's to shame with this product". It's probably true.

Our WJ and WK, XK Front Tow Hitch Receiver w/ Shackle Tabs are built with A572 Grade-50 steel which is also used in building beams. It's welded to 1/4" plates and two 1/4" thick gussets. The Center tube is a 2" x 2" by .188 wall thickness. We weld MULTI-pass on all contact points of the 3/4" shackle tab plate. Mounted to your frame rails with Grade-8 hardware and frame sandwich plates which are also 1/4" thick. Take Recovery Seriously!!!

(WJ) The mounting plate is constructed from 1/4" Plate and has three mounting holes to the underside of the WJ's uni-body frame-rail. Mounts to factory holes, no drilling required. Minor grinding required under uni-body frame-rail. To mount behind Limited bumpers you must cut off the two center plastic pieces to amke enough room for the 2" receiver. 
(WK and XK) The mounting plate is constructed from 1/4" Plate and has four mounting holes to the underside of the WK's/XK's uni-body frame-rail. Mounts to three factory holes plus one additional hole deep back into the frame-rail, one hole drilling required per side.

The Shackle Tab is constructed of 3/4" thick x 7" length Grade-50 Steel and is welded to the 1/4" plate all around with two gussets on the side. The shackle tab has a 7/8"" hole for D-Ring Shackles. These are the same shackle tabs we use on our winch mounts and bumpers. 

Grade 50 is a high strength, low alloy steel that finds its best application where there is need for more strength per unit of weight. Less of this material is needed to fulfill given strength requirements than is necessary with regular carbon steels.

Grade 50 is used in general plate applications when the plate will be riveted, bolted, or welded. Grade 50 is a Columbium-Vanadium steel that offers a minimum yield of 50,000 PSI. In addition, ASTM A572 Grade 50 is noted for its increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion. Grade 50 contains more alloying elements than plain carbon steel and thus is somewhat more difficult to form. Grade 50 is more difficult to cold work, but can be successfully bent or shaped but requires more force than plain carbon steel. 

ASTM A572 Grade 50 is considered a "workhorse" grade and is widely used in many applications. Steel mills produce channel and heavy beams with Grade 50. It is commonly used in structural applications, heavy construction equipment, building structures, heavy duty anchoring systems, truck frames, poles, liners, conveyors, boom sections, structural steel shapes, and applications that require high strength per weight ratio.

---------------------------------------------------------

The plastic lower door cladding on the WJ Laredo model is... let's be frank, it's just a plain eye sore. Replace the plastic cladding with our steel lower door armor kit. These lower door panels are NOT meant to stop a boulder from crushing your door if you happen to slam into one. They're meant to replace the ugly cladding on the Laredo models. Best part about it other than looks and protection; if you scratch it, it can be removed, sanded and repainted for a new look at any given time and it's easier to resurface/repaint this panel instead of repairing your door. 

Shipping: $28 Flat Rate Shipping to lower 48 States. Please contact us for a shipping quote to other areas. Local Pick-up Available in Covina, Ca.

WJ Steel Rear Bumper w/ Integrated High Clearance Tow Hitch

The Construction

• If your evap canister is located behind the driver side rear wheel well, you'll have to relocate it. There are multiple writeups on Jeep Forum where and how to relocate it. 
• Arrives BARE STEEL. Painting or powder coating is required
• The bottom of the bumper is one piece 3/16 thick plate from fender to fender. The tow hitch is constructed of 3/16 square tube (2"x2"x.188 wall). The center receiver is 1/4" thick from Curt manufacturing and welded through the 2" cross member. The shackle tabs are welded in through the cross member and the frame rail mounting plates. The frame-rail mounting plates are 3/16 thick, are cnc bent and have gussets welded for additional reinforcement. The tow hitch construction is welded to the bottom pate of the bumper. The upper center section and side wings are constructed from 10-gauge plates. 
• High clearance - sits as tight as possible to body lines without major trimming of unibody
• Replaces factory tow hitch with heavy duty hitch construction and welded through 3/4" thick recovery shackle tabs. The tow hitch construction and shackle tab recovery points are welded through one another. See photos for example
• Select between standard shackle tabs or rhino tabs with upper hooks
• Built in skid resistant corner steps with reverse dimpled steel 
• can be built with-out the corner steps if you don't need them. We'll simply cover them with additional plating like it was never there, but they'll still be there, you just won't see them
• Reverse dimpled plate near quarter panel provides additional step to access roof (for us short folk, you tall folk don't have the need for this but it's there)
• Can be built without the reverse dimpled plate near the quarter panel, we'll just replace the dimpled plate with a solid flat plate. You have choices
• Mounts to six factory tow hitch mounting points under frame-rail plus four upper unibody pinch seam mounting points (drilling required - 4 holes). Ten mounting points total. The upper four mounting points are next to the tail-light which is the unibody pinch seam. With six bolts under the frame rail and 4 bolts on the upper portion of the bumper, it has a solid mounting pattern. No need to drop fuel tank or tank skid plate
• Some minor trimming and folding of rear unibody cross member is required and simple to do. See photos of Bash hammering in that section using a 4-lbs sledge
• Not compatible with the evap canister located behind the wheel well. Either relocate the evap canister or request us to cut the bumper to clear your evap canister prior to shipment - no charge, we'll chop it for you
• Testing phases prior to release:
• Banging, slamming, scraping, some more slamming bumper on boulders through rough terrain at Couger Buttes in Southern California. Testing for movement of bumper from mounting points, tweaks in the plates or construction, denting, bending etc. = Testing Phase Complete - Passed
• 575lbs tongue weight Shock force testing on the receiver hitch - Passed
• Swing out is tested to 235-lbs from Los Angeles California to Table Mesa Arizona, through the trails of Upper & Lower Terminator, Judgement Day and back to Los Angeles. The swing out hinge, latch and lock pin is solid.
• Tow hitch construction is labeled as "Offroad Recovery Use ONLY". Tow at your own risk and discretion.
