    Hey guys. If possible does anyone have the plans for this hitch so i could get one made up overhere.

    I dont mind the Kurt hitch and ones like that just this hitch looks 100x better.

    Cheers.

    Guys,

    The hitch install really isn't that difficult (at least it's not as difficult as we made it sound). It does take some time and a helper makes the job much easier. Don't let the install scare you away from purchasing. The finished product it well worth the effort.

    Aaron - If mine weren't already installed, I'd try to make some drawings for you. Sorry. Try sending VX-13 a message to see if he can trace the parts onto a piece of paper for you.

    ...and when the instructions say to remove the two torx screws holding the cladding on, they mean two per side. I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only person to break a cladding tab.

    It was a total bear to install, and it isn't for the faint of heart, but once installed, you can't stop thinking of uses for it... Not just towing, but you can now attach bike racks and cargo racks.

    cargo racks...

    a note on cargo racks with this hitch...

    don't put too much weight on it.
    I bought a cargo rack to carry my 260lb jet ski on. The rack actually acts like a lever and twists the bumper/frame/hitch mount.

    All other towing is ok...
    Just a warning.

    "you can't stop thinking of uses for it... Not just towing, but you can now attach bike racks and cargo racks."

    And don't forget either a hitch step to make getting in the back easier or better yet, a bully bar to protect your hiney.
