Ebay has a 2'' reciever that bolts to the rear frame and is stout.

USMCSKI, out of interest was your hitch the bolt or welded type? I had heard the welded one was a lot tougher, though aftermarket tougher still.

Re: What a P.O.S.........

need to drill new hole in your ball mount the problem is the hole for the pin to go thru on the rzr is out at the end of the hitch and on automotive ball mounts which i assume you used is set back so when used on a truck it sticks out past the bumper well when you put that in the rzr all of the weight is out on the tip of the hitch put your ball mount all the way in the hitch till it bottoms out and mark it for the new hole and problem solved

It would but I like to have the hitch to move my trailer around the yard.also it would make for a better spot to attach a tow strap if I ever needed to tow/ be towed.

Re: What a P.O.S.........

twxpd103.........looks good. I already contacted them about one that will go with my machine. It amazes me that they did not put a couple points on the frame that could be used for towing folks out of mud holes.

Is that the one from ForgeIndustries? I have that one, too. The 1 1/4" receiver has a higher capacity than the Rzr's rating and is smaller and lighter than the 2" receiver.

Re: What a P.O.S.........

I made my 2" reciever for about 20 bucks. Go to TSC and get a 2" reciever stock they sell and some flat plate not much to it. I will see if I can post some pics.

guy48065....

yes it is the one from Forge. Adam was very good to work with on customizing the hitch for me. I am all about making stuff myself, but I am very happy with this particular purchase.

Re: What a P.O.S.........

I have the EMP hitch. It is awesome. I pull an 8 ft. trailer, and also have a hitch haul for it as well.
