Front Hitch

Post by Gadgets »

I am trying to find a hitch for the front receiver on my 2007 H2. My rear hitch is a solid 2x2 chunk of steel, so drilling it is almost out of the question. I found the one below, but says it will only fit up to a 2006??? Being new to Hummer, I can't imagine why, but don't want to buy it if it won't fit. Anyone able to help me out here, or where I can find one even??



TeakaToys



and for that matter, anyone here have any idea what teakatoys is like to buy from??



Thanks

Any standard extender from Reese, Drawtite, etc should do you well. I can check tomorrow at work on some part numbers for you to reference. It should be a standard 2" hitch receiver and they come in diff lengths.



Will report back tomorrow <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... ght_on.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':right_on:' />

Hummer made an OEM hitch extension, it looks like that is kinda like what Teaka is showing here, I believe I have one somewhere at my place that I am not using since I changed out my from bumper. If you are not in a hurry, I can check later on when I get back home tonight after work..

Tow Ready (aka Reese, Hidden Hitch, DrawTite, Bargman, etc are all the same company) makes two 2" receiver extensions, in both an 18" and 14" length, and chances are theyd be way cheaper than a teakatoys unit, and easier to access locally.



14" part number 11003

18" part number 11004

Not is a huge hurry, would like it before I head to the cottage in a couple weeks though. Any of the extensions I have seen, seem to be made for a normal hitch receiver, not the vertical pin type. Do you just drill another hole?



Thanks a lot

Here is the one I have, it was from the OEM Front Hitch package for my 05 H2, I need to look if I can find the Pin that slides down the top but I am sure you can find it somewhere if I can't, maybe crappy tire has something..

So they do exist!! I was starting to think it was a "conceptual idea" and not really available. <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />



Let me what you want for it, and we'll have to arrange to get I guess.
