I picked up a used putnam hitch for my 2000 XJ(doesn't appear to have ever been used, just installed). The instructions say to use bolts/washers/lock nuts/nuts on the drivers side. 4 per side. Would you get a nut plate for the drivers side or just use the hardware that putnam supplys. I figure if the manufacture is saying do it that way, it must be strong enough and there is no need for the nut plate or they would include a nut plate kinda thing to prevent any law suits. I don't plan on doing any heavy towing as the trailer I have is rated for 3500lbs. I have access to diesel trucks if i have to do any heavy towing. I also don't see myself getting it buried off-road where I would have to have somebody do major pulling/winch to get me out. I may wirig up the jeep for a multi-mount winch(xd8000i) though.
