Personally I prefer the Tone / tom4bren hitch design that brings the receiver box out through the bottom of the lower cladding. Looks much more OEM IMHO. Here's a link, and like all things VX, be prepared to wait in line.

    Lookie here folks. Rado just bumped his own dang self alla way to the back of the line for a hitch (even tho he is SPECIAL & wants a custom job).

    JK

    Welder Guy said that he still has the 2" prototype somewheres & it'll be one of the firstest to get finished (since it's already 80% done).

    That would be great if welder guy still has the prototype!!! I'm still down to buy it off him.

    I am really not trying to cause any problems but I have a welder and can do a pretty darn good job. If Tom4Bran wants to send me plans or a scetch or something and can build them up and ship them out.
    I am sure I can come in under "the welder guys" price. I can even make sure they are painted.
    let me know

    No Problemo.

    Lets let Welder Guy stamp out a few to let him recoup some of the time he already has invested. That'll also help to get them Beta Tested as well (although that should be minimal since Ash & I have both been running them for about a year now).

    Not sure I want my hitch 'panting' though

    BTW, the price includes painting but powder coating will be extra.
