    rear seat on hitch

    so, i dont know what made me think of this, but how cool would it be to have a way to have your rear seat on a bracket that would mount to the rear receiver hitch on your vx??

    so if you were camping out in moab you could just back your VX up to the campfire and you would have the most comfortable seat around

    you could also leave the rear door open for musical entertainment and somewhere to set your beer....

    for traveling, you would just fold the seat up and slide it in along the side of the back of the VX....
    the bracket would easily dismount to sit next to the folded up seat...

    just thought it would be a cool use for people who camp a lot (i like to camp a lot!)

    Sounds good to me...

    Here is another idea, along the same line (sort of) ...Uncle Booger's bumper dumper...

    THAT is funny, Dub. I actually use one of these for camping:



    And for a while now I have been wanting one of these for my hitch:



    PB, I like the idea actually, but the back seats are so damn big!

    I can't wait for the weather to get better! Camping is on!

    ya i was just thinking that if you dont use the seat anyhow, and you have all that space back there....then it wouldnt be that much of a burden to put back there along the side folded up.... i wouldnt worry so much about the size, but more that its uber heavy for a seat....
    maybe when i have my sliders put on ill talk to the welder about making some easy brackets...
    i've been wanting a reason to order a hitch for my VX (i know im gonna need it one day)...it would be nice to be able to tow a small trailer...

    come to think of it, im sure someone out there makes something like this that is much more lightweight...is just that our rear seats are really comfy, and they recline

    its definately not on the top of my to-do list...but maybe one day you'll see a contraption like this in moab
