So it has been a few months since I installed the hitch, thought I'd give an update. No pictures as I haven't done anything spectacular, but I've towed a car trailer a couple of times with small cars on it, along with some other trailers. No issues with the hitch itself, or the wiring or brake...

Yup, it's the same as adding a pinball type hitch for how everything works, it's just a single piece and heavier overall, so hopefully ends up as stronger overall. I have a 10k rated adjustable drop hitch on order and a 12k rated 2" ball. Next weekend everything will get a decent test when I...

So latest update having to do with the hitch assembly. I don't know if the mount points on the frame rails are different on the M1123 I have or that their kit is messed up, but the brackets that go from the pintle diagonal forward to the frame are too long with the pintle bracket installed...

This one is still able to mount the original pintle above the receiver, I'm just waiting on the bracket to give me the correct thickness to mount it. As soon as it comes in (supposedly tomorrow according to freight tracking) I'll add a couple more pictures. Yes, there are pintles that will fit...

The pinball receiver would not work with my hitch, as my crossbar is one of the newer thicker ones a 2 1/4" thick, so the pintle is too short to add another 1/2" piece of metal in there ( With the safety chain eyelets, the pintle will handle 2 1/2" of mount, with the pinball I'd be at 2 3/4...

One more thing to add about the hitch itself. It came with a couple holes that were too far over to mount the license plate, then has a steel plate you bolt to those holes that lowers the plate several inches and moved it over. I thought it looked stupid to be that low and offset from where...

Got the trailer light converter box in today. So first thing I did was to disassemble the plug portion, and add a pigtail for the 12V accessory wire I was adding. There was already a pigtail for the brake line, but it was only 14 awg wire, I replaced it with the 10 awg I had run back from the...

A couple days back I installed the Federal Military Parts class 3 heavy duty 2" receiver I picked up from another member here who decided to go a different route. Doesn't work with airlift bumper, which is fine with me, as I don't have one. Got it installed and was waiting on the other parts...
