rear seat on hitch

[Marlin]

Yeah, I kinda wanna get one of those. I don't much care for the way they look, but the extra protection is key. I think I will wait until I get my welding shop together and then make one that has spikes sticking out backwards. That'll keep most people from tailgating.

You know, after your photo shoot, I could so picture you with spiked rear bumper, and you could hook up the wifes car with some spinner spikes, thats something for the zombie revolution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like my external hitch as it acts as a nice piece of protection for the cladding and fuel tank on drop offs! Looks butt ugly so I just never look at it.

If you do any wheeeeeling...


...I suggest the exposed style hitch.

The 'cross bar' makes a great "grounding out" exit protector for yer azz end AND exhausts.

AND..be sure to put a step bar on it...

..save LOADS OF $$$$'s when people run into you...or you back into something!

Trust me...I now...I've been SAVED three times !

jo, you have been a little bit of ghost lately.....

i personally would rather have the integrated look of the built in one vs. the loss of ground clearance on the external....

also, i have my exhaust chopped up high so that it doesnt have a chance to scrape and bend...(already wrapped my stock exhaust around the axle trying to back off of something)...

and thats why we have a skid plate below the gas tank

oh, and jo...if you quit backing into things, you wont need to have your step bar back there..

Yea well...seems the ORW likes it that way!

It won't work on the VX anyway, I have a fold up cargo carrier from them for my Expedition, I tried it on the VX, the hitch on the VX is tucked too far under the rear end, so not enough room to fold it up. I would imagine the seat would be the same way. It is a pretty good idea though. Wonder if they take trad-ins on their products!!!

"the hitch on the VX is tucked too far under the rear end, so not enough room to fold it up."

I've seen extenders on cars. I don't know if they bought them or had them custom made. Should be pretty simple though. 2 pieces of square tubing (1 to match the ID of the receiver and 1 to match the OD of the mating part). 4 holes, 2 bolts & an extra receiver pin - yer done.
