Putting this in the KJ discussion since my question doesn't apply to KKs.

So I have a hitch hauler thing, you know the baskets that plug into the 2" receiver hitch for hauling coolers and other extra cargo. Anyways, I have one that works great (no idea of the brand, have had it a long time) that has sides on all four corners and fits perfect for the XJs, however, it hits the rear tire on the KJ!! I guess i could have a small hitch extension made or something, but I'm not a huge fan of that.


Just wondering which brand of 'hitch-n-ride,' 'hitch-haul,' etc. that you guys use on your KJ that don't interfere with the rear tire! Thanx!!

how much contact does it make? If you flip the spare tire holder the tire will sit higher by a couple of inches. had to do that on mine.

Any chance you could find what brand that is? I'm looking for something like that too.

Thanks!

I had a hidden hitch and used an extender and it worked with no problems at all. Here is a link to a couple of pictures with it on.
