    tow package

    Just joined IFSJA, and have a few questions. I recently bought a 1986 Grand Wagoneer and am looking for a tow hitch for it, any suggestions? as to where to find one
    Thanks,
    JEWBOY

    So far as I know no manufacturer still makes FSJ specific tow hitches, too limited of a market to warrant tool-up costs. Best bet is likely an RV trailer/ accessories dealer and have them or you make a universal-one-size-fits-nothing hitch work.
    Hope you're not planning to tow anything heavy with the stock 2.73 axle gears.

              I bought mine for $100, the one I saw in Los Angeles was $100, both original Jeep parts. $325 seems pretty high. I think 8Man in Texas has one you could probably buy...

                Do you want a receiver hitch or a tow bar? I have a Jeep tow bar I removed from my 89 GW.
