Rabbit trailer hitch

Post by Fatmobile »

The old hitch was getting rusty and weak so I built a new one:

It uses the same plan of bolting a 1x2 piece of metal to the tow hooks,
I found a $5 hitch,.. I think it's from a minivan and welded that to it.

I wanted a reciever type hitch this time,.. plan was it would be recessed but it still stuck out far enough to be a shin splitter.
