About a hitch?

[tom4bren]

Mounts to the frame so far superior. I bought one for $170 including shipping hauled a sports car full of stuff cross country no problem except excessive oil use

Yah, but it's all about the asthetics.

'sides, Welder guy should have the upgraded version out soon. It'll have all the benefits of your fugly hitch without being ... well fugly.

I can't wait. Will that fit nicely in the already cut out portion of the cladding?

That's the plan. Here's how the design considerations went:

Take the Tone design and stretch it out to reach from frame to frame.

OK - but then the tube bumper needs to go away

OK - the hitch will be your bumper now (actually stronger than the tube anyway) but now the lower cladding bolts to ... thin air

OK - replicate the cladding mounting features to the hitch

OK - but now the bracket that everyone attaches the shackle to on the passenger side is in the way

OK - remove bracket, don't need no stinkin shackle - just get a receiver mounted mr scarey hook from Northern Tool ($20)

OK - But KAT needs her receiver pin relocated (she's special)

OK - But Dub needs a skull engraved on his

OK - But JAMAS needs his powder coated a special color to match his cargo boxes

OK - But circmand STILL ain't happy wit it

True. And it has to have been previously installed on your VX, then removed to suit my needs.

Don't know when. Don't know how much. After a 14 hour day yesterday, I went brain dead on my commute home & forgotted to call him. Hoping to get out of work today after only 11 hours, so ...

That would mean that you get the firstest prototype since that's what I'll be getting. I'm the guinea pig.

Oh yeah, & it'll be painted John Deere Yellow.
