I made my own base plates for the wifes GC Jeep and my TJ Jeep. Took my about 4 hrs to make each set of base plates and 1hr to install.

I need to put some sort of baseplate/towplate on my 99 Cherokee also.  I tried local weld shops and they were not enthusiastic about it because of the thin gauge of the structure and the bumper in the way.  I found this tow plate (see link below).  You need to buy their frame brackets also, but it all comes to less than half of Blue Ox.  I did look at Quartzsite last week, but did not find one that would fit.

You don't have to believe everything you think.

 sounds like no one will have one to fit my 1957 356 porsche  i plan to make one where the nerf bars will pull
out with hitch pins and the tow bar will then slide in and lock with the hitch pins
