funny story, we were off roading on lite trails with my cous he has a cherokee classic 00' 4wd..and me with my X...

it's all fun and games until someone gets stuck...well, it wasn't really that bad....i almost got out in reverse as a matter of fact, but i figured since i got that far back out then i was getting traction and wanted to try again foward...(BAD IDEA) lol...yep the wet grass got me didn't look wet from the other side of the hole...anyways i bottomed out on the right side...and could have used the above link (front mount receiver hitch) cause i want to get that and a hitch shackle...and same for the rear hitch plus shackle...so that way me and my cous can hook the ropes with ease instead of digging under there gettin dirty and tieing the rope to the chassis...(yes it's still there from were we cut it lol we were lazy and drunk...well sort of drunk after lol)...basically why does link say 99-01? is there extra holes to drill or something or is cause the bumpers are different' if it's the bumper case then can i not use this at all? thanx for the help...

if anyone knows where a 95-98 model exist (ex. WARN) might get that one not sure but one similar to the above link i would rather have...if you can find one let me know cause i've looked for hours nothing except 99+ and 3rd gens and up...thanx kyle

Great idea, I was thinking of welding a 2" reciever under my WARN as I didn't get the reciever option as I wanted my winch mounted on the guard.

I found that it would be usefull pulling out the boat on dark nights without the need to install lights on the back of the EX.

thank you so much (ammo_hooah) sorry if i sounded like a total moron for not being able to find it all that showed for me was newer model stuff...so I greatly appreciate your effort and time even though it was only 30 seconds lol...anyways now we don't have to get dirty anymore to pull out the 2wheel drive fun lol
 






lol, you didn't sound like a moron there have been numerous times when the search and google just haven't yielded what I was looking for either.
 












well anyway just tryin to lightin the mood techieman it was the country on saturday at 7:30 no one around small town saratoga, NC...we did not drink and drive if thats what your implying...but does anyone have these or had them before they sold or used a truck...i like the 3 hole it's easier to work with when mounting spot...
 












that seems awful pricey.....
 






Ya, you should be able to pick up hooks like that for like $8-20 each from a auto or tractor parts store....
 






yea but with three holes?
