KJ HITCH TO A KK HITCH

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Nov 10, 2010 5:10 pm

Every since I chopped off the bottom of the bumper I haven't like the way the KJ hitch was so low looking
So after Buggin discovered (by accident) that a MOPAR KK would bolt up without too many modifications I went on the search of one
Found one in Grand Rapids, MI and best part was the guy was traveling through Toledo last evening so dropped it off! :BANANA:

So before

and after, no it doesn't sit lower now just the angle :banghead:

Now time to paint :wink:

Looks sooooo much better!

You're catching me a little bit every day! :mrgreen:

Catching you...... :ROTFL:

other way around
Top of the ball with a 3 inch drop is 22.25
have to go with a 4 inch drop now.
this hitch does sit the ball back away from the tire though

I think Chris means that you're so far ahead you're getting ready to lap him.

Don't know what I'm talking about though, I'm so far behind I might be ahead myself.

By the way...what kind of mods does the kk hitch need to fit the kj?

There is a pinch weld at the rear that has to be cut and bent over, an area of maybe 3 inches wide on each side, ( got to use power tools for install :twisted:

)
then the plastic "stuff" behind the bumper, more of it has to be cut ( than what I had cut off originally)
So not hard but holding up a 50 lb Kilby gas tank skid along with balancing the hitch made for an interesting evening, finally put the Kilby on jack stands up tight and then jacked the hitch into place. Got smart!!!
Oh and on the left side I'll need to add some metal to it for mounting, only two of the three holes line up, right side is fine!
Nice thing about the Kilby you can jack the whole back end up just using it!

Offered Chris 50 bucks to come and help me but....... NOOOOO :furious:

And you are right I am about to lap him and have him One Lap Down!!!! :pepper:

The spare tire cover was the "only " thing my wife ever bought for or really wanted on the KJ. She liked that cover and wanted one on it.
SO....I sort of keep it on for her.
Plus that wheel is messed up by the PO, lots of rock scratches on it.
Well it will have them until here in a , ................................
