There are extra holes on most hitches, use whatever holes line up with the frame. Any Cherokee hitch should fit any Cherokee. 3 bolts per side is enough.

there also should be a nutcert/nutstrip already on the passenger side of your jeep. if you didnt grab the hardware from the jy you may want to buy the drivers side one online somewhere. its indicated in tims diagram as #2

jcr has them as well as morris 4x4. the dealer prices are much more expensive

i hope you were sarcastic about the jb weld and zipties haha. if you do the fish-through method make sure you use the appropiate hardware/washer squares so the bolts dont tear through your framerails the first time you use it
