Not sure if you guys have seen or heard of this. I have been running a Detours rear bumper and tire carrier on my XJ for 4 years with no issues! Good products and pricing, great guys to work with!

When yall get it installed, sell me your front reciever hitch would ya?

Its Ok, But a day late and a dollar short unless they have em for the new liberty

A reciever hitch and a slide-in winch mount is a lot less trouble.

A front reciever is $160 bucks installed, and the reciever winch mount is $60
If you are gonna spend that kind of money plus shipping, might as well go with an ARB or Lizard.
