Moon Unit,

Absolutely true, but ...

It really depends on your druthers. The hidden design of the Tone hitch was absolutely the selling point for me & I've never had an issue with the tongue weight. If I can work out the re-design and keep the price down = Gravey!!!

IMHO, the Curt hitch just looks like a tottler wearing a disposable diaper getting out of a pool.

Also depends what you do with your VX, for me i'd use this style of hitch as i dont want to compromise the amazing approach / departure angles the VX has. For those tricky stuck-in-a-bomb-hole situations

If i had a different type i'd easily get humg up on it.

true... I didn't think about approach angles for wheelin' since I'm one of the rare ones that doesn't go on anything rougher than dirt roads...
Just tryin' to offer suggestion since he didn't like the idea of cutting the cladding...


tom4bren... that baby diaper wearin' analogy is funny stuff though

It looks like he also bored out the hole for the locking pin. True?

No, the hole was there as is. I used a locking pin I already had.

And yes, LUNA, this was all about aesthetics for me. Don't care for the Curt style...and I might add it looks like the diaper was full too!

OH,

and Dub, if you get a free saturday you can come over and fit one for me too??? Only take a few hours to get here..........honest!

Hey you're right, it's actually quicker to fly over to you than it was for me to drive to N.D. But my visit/tour of America was multi-purpose so it all was justified, at least to me!

i cant find a pic of alans with the hitch on, this is it with just the brackets in place which make great recovery points

HMMM. In the pic it looked like the powder coating was gone from the inside of the hole.

Check out SilverBullet's gallery. It should be same-o.

yep... look in my gallery. There are a couple pics that half-show the hitch. (main subject was the repairs I did on the rear cladding)
