    Bolt on Transport reciever hitch

    THere have been times when I have been asked to go somewhere and drive or tow a vehicle like a truck home for someone
    I have a fold away tow-bar stowed in my daily driver so if the vehicle has a receiver hitch all I need to do is hook up and go. but more often than not htere is no hitch or a way to attach a 2" ball on the rear of the truck. So I made this for those times

    I also made many parts for it so I could configure it to adapt to almost all situations.

    currently it is loaned out to a guy who uses it almost every day doing what I do very part time. He has connected it to well over 100 vehicles to date and has towed his D2500 over 100,000 miles across many states.
    Not shown are the safety chains and cables we use to meet the DOT requirements for commercial towing

    A full set of plans can be made available however the builder will be responsible for their own build quality and all safety requirements
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products
