| An "Off-Roadable" Hitch, Which Bolts up to the OEM Hitch Platform |
 |
| Kirk's hitch bolts up to the existing holes using allen-head capscrews |
 |
| The tongue is easily removed, with a low- profile receiver left |
Kirk Hillebrand (aka Cap'n Kirk) just completed a
proto type of this receiver:
"It uses a standard stinger (that is available almost anywhere) so
I can purchase one with the correct
drop for the application. It has a 3500 lb rating and [an estimated] 300 lb tongue
weight max. The receiver is shorter in order to be more off-road friendly.
