Re: Bumper-mounted trailer hitch bracket for Jeep Wrangler TJ
So, you're saying that you are knowingly creating a situation that will
spawn 'sides'. Interesting.

Thanks. I don't expect it will. Feel free to gloat if it does. No doubt
you'll be there, subpoenaed as a plaintiff witness.

Hell, it doesn't seem like that many years ago that you would see trucks
with bumpers made out of railroad rails or 4-6" diameter pipe... Considering
the fact that railroad rails can weigh up to 155 lbs per yd, that made for a
bit heavy bumper....
http://www.allmetalssupply.com/railroad_rail.htm
I even remember seeing one made out of a railroad tie at one time...
You are definitely going the other way in your design... Have you considered
possibly just replacing the stock bumper with something more sturdy? Even
if I wasn't towing anything, I would want to replace the factory bumper...
Bumpers should be able to withstand backing into something at a slow speed
without any damage to them... Perhaps make yourself a bumper out of 4" steel
I-beam? Here's the weights and dimensions for various sizes...
http://www.aceindustries.com/243AmStdShapes.htm
All you would need to do is create a couple of brackets to mate with the
existing factory attachment points... You could either weld a receiver hitch
adapter underneath the I-beam or just drill a few holes and mount a plate
similar to what you current have, but without the bend... I would put the
I-beam in an orientation so that it looked like an 'I' instead of a 'H'...
The mounting brackets would be welded to the inside channel of the I-beam
and as such, supported on 3 sides, making the weld fairly sturdy...
http://www.aceindustries.com/243AmStdShapes.htm
This would still be a fairly cheap solution... Not owning a TJ, I'm not
familiar with the attachment points for its bumper... It is my professional
opinion that one should design for at least as great as the weakest link in
the existing system... Basically, there's no need to put a bank vault door
on a room that has sheetrock walls...
