When I was looking around for front receiver hitches for my WJ I could only find Warn and we all know how Warn prices things!!! Not even Mopar makes one for the WJ. In my search for lower priced WJ front hitches I found a few 3rd Party ZJ ones.

I think I still got 'em saved somewhere. PM me if you want the links and I'll try to find them...

Dodgeramguy85 for the connector you used are both ends the same connector? Or is there a male and female ends? That ebay listing is cheep.

And Hammer your wire looks soo thin for a winch in that pic, it may just be due to the pic.

The same 2 gauge that came with it five years ago. Just cut with the connectors attached to make a portable out it...

Yes both the connectors are the same. To get it to connect all you have to do is flip one over and it will connect.
