Cherokee XJ fit and setup
The XJ Cherokee has a rear end that rewards careful planning. A tire carrier and receiver add weight at the back, so the bumper, the carrier arm and the vehicle’s rear mounts all carry more load than a stock bumper would. Check the tire size you plan to carry and make sure it clears the tailgate and any rear lights when it swings out.
Steel bumpers protect the rear of an older Jeep from trail hits and give a solid point for recovery gear. Cold rolled steel can rust where the finish chips, so touch up scratches and check welds after rough trips. A D-ring mount is useful for recovery, but use strap points rated for the load and inspect them regularly.
- Confirm the tire clears the swing arm and tailgate
- Check rear lights and plate after install
- Re-tighten carrier and hitch bolts after the first drives
- Inspect welds and D-rings after heavy recovery use
