Uhaul hitch - pictures attached

[frekeyguy]

I think this is one of the better aftermarket hitches available for the KJ. The receiver is extra long, and the tubing is quite hidden. Here are some pictures....

(this one was built in Burlington, ontario i believe. It seems like UHAUL sources these hitches from Local supplies...)

Nice - you don't have to take off the !@$#@^ spare just to hitch up a trailer! :freak3:

That is a Class II hitch - so you're limited to 350lb tongue weight and 3500lb max trailer weight so be careful.

I run a uhaul but it doesn't stick out that far so I have to open the back door to hook up some trailers. But it works well for me.

It's a class III 5000 lb hitch

That hitch sticks out a little further than the OEM one on my KJ. Looks like it would be easier to hook up to. Mine is a pain to hook up my utility trailer because of my spare tire size is bigger than OEM. I need to crack the rear gate open to hook it up. When I had the stock tires it was no problem though. I have a 14" bar extention I need to try to see if that works better. The other thing I was thinking is to see if I could reverse the spare tire mount and see if the spare will hang just a tad higher without interfering with the lift glass window? Havn't tried it yet.

My bad - looked at the pics on my phone and thought it was the 1 1/4" vs 2" receiver. Lesson learned :freak3:

I am jealous though - my factory hitch doesn't allow me to hook up the boat trailer with the gate closed. My neighbor always chuckles when he sees me getting ready to head out to the lake...

How long is the ball mount in the pic?

Well a standard Cinder block is ~16" LONG....from the end of the receiver to the edge of the ball is about 14-1/2" to 15" long. And the receiver almost stick out 8" from the edge of the bumper. Hope this helps.
