    Looks good with a fairly easy install.

    Does welder guy have a price for these? I'd like to get one installed before Moab if possible.

    Looks like the price is going to come in around $300. He was trying to keep it down in the $250 range but the build is much more labor intensive than he planned.

    I'll get him to lock in the price the week after next (I'm O3 all of next week).

    I just did a quick online search for Curt hitches. It looks like Curt MSRP is $393 but I was able to find list prices in the $200 range (not sure if they are actually available at that price though).

    I'll keep you posted.

    I got my Curt hitch for $168 and free shipping. Hitch Depot has them under $200 of course these look better

    It took us about 4 hours but that included stopping to take pix & a dinner break.

    Waitaminit - you gots a body lift. You can't use the hidden hitch anyways. We're going to have to go custom for yours ... unless you want me to send you mine & see if you can mount it as is & just cut your cladding all the way across to give the clearance you need.
