<< Hi all,
We've ordered skid plates (3) and a receiver hitch for the '98. Who knows
when they'll be in, but at least they're on order. I think we may put the
"fresh air by meldrum" in as well. I think we should mount a fire
extinguisher in the cab as well and we're all set to hit the offroad trails.
YEEHAW!!! I'd love to get a suspension lift and beefier tires, but that will
have to wait for now. OH HAPPY DAY!!! :)
Just thought I'd share my excitement :)

Just curious, but how much is the hitch from the dealer? Are you having them
put it on too? Just letting you know, you know you can buy a just a good
hitch(it just doesnt say MOPAR on it) that is a Class III from JC Whitney for
$115; and for $85 when they are on sale. All you need is about 25 minutes of
you time and some very basic tools. The hitch I bought simply utilizes the
holes predrilled on the frame; as I would imagine the MOPAR one does. I bought
mine about 4 years ago for $90 and put it on within an hour. This way too I
made sure I put on good quality Grade8 bolts/nuts rather than the Grade5 most
hitch places use; Just as a peace of mind(additional cost is about $8). I not
bitching; just curious why you decided to order the hitch through the dealer.
As far as the skid plates go, do they get bolted on or welded on?
