Gonna have to get one...

Origianlly I put it on to assist as a rear crash device. I thought, let someone rear end the pintle hook, not my bumper. It is just at the right height to rip out the front end of a car. Grill, condenser, radiator, etc. I think though they will still hit my bumper.
Oh well, I don't think it will hurt quite as bad, as if I didn't have anything.

The trailer was purely secondary. I didn't even think about it, until I had put the hitch on. Then I thought, wouldn't that be neat.
Then I bought one.

This was the reason I was looking for the pintle type hitch plus it looks cool too, haven't been able to source the whole assembly with hitch adaptor over here though. Probably have to get the adaptor fabbed.
No need for a trailer at the moment, just like the look of it

Looks great!

Where did you get the chain plate? How much did all 3 pieces cost?

Thanks

Receiver adapter is made by Buyers. It's a PM84. One height, same line height as the receiver. Made for 2" receiver. The H3 has a 2" receiver. Most trucks do.
Pintle hook is 15ton capable. Buyers PH15. There are of course other sizes available. 5 ton, 8 ton, 20 ton. Depends what you want.

I think the whole thing was like 80 or 90 bucks. I can't remember and wasn't really monitoring the price all that much; I was going to make it regardless.

Chain plate is USGI, bought on ebay. Hard to find! around $20 or $25.
