Jersey

I needed a hitch now to tow something right away.
so I ran my TJ up to the local trailer guy & got a class III
Draw Tight installed with tong, 2" ball & lights hooked
up for under 200.00 & I was outa there in 1/2 hour & that
has the 2" receiver. I pulled a buddies home-built 4 x 8
trailer (lightly loaded) at speeds up to 80 mph & could
barely tell the trailer was there. But if I had the time to
wait I'd have ordered a bumper with the receiver built in
because the hitch does give you more stuff to scrape in
the rear. IF your going to be bouncing around off road,
if not it's fine.

I made my own from a 6" scheduled 80 pipe, bought some 2" square tubing,
1/2" gussets to the pipe, used the gussets for the safety chains and welded
round end caps. I have lots of people ask me where I had bought it and it
only cost me a mere $85.00 for the materials and my time.

Arvin

Thanks for the input. I thought that the aftermarket bumper would be better
and I don't know why I didn't think of it. That's what the group is for.
