sweet. thanks. If i can't find one thats ranger specific, ill keep this in mind.

 

for ppl who used a ranger hitch....you think one of the ones that mounts to the side of the frame will work?

 

Here's mine:



Its the same hitch that you would see on alot of rangers. I have the same style in the rear.

I still need to grind it all down and put a good coat of black on it. Doing that over winter break.

 

Yep Thats the kind I used. If you have a tranny cooler it will rub against the rubber hose thats all.

 

Factory skid? I have a Hidden Hitch with a factory skidplate and trans cooler and it works great.

 

hitch of a 97 chevy full size

cut it down

flipped it to weld it in




unsightly bumper gap
end *****.

thats my hitch, love it, although i havent really gotten the chance to use it yet, i plan on having a multi-mount winch

 

no **** i was asking who had a front hitch with a 98 style bumper

 

The hitch Shane posted up, the one thats supposedly out of production, looks identical to my Street Scene behind the pan rear hitch.

Street Scene Hitch

 

Ok smartass. Don't you have something better to do like poke holes in your truck with your finger?

 

Yeah, its factory. I just don't want to bolt one on (if thats the one you have) just because I wouldn't have the patience to fiddle with those bolts when i cant see them in the center of the frame lol

Such a ***** lol j/k. That came out good like everyone elses. The more people post, the more i want to get the hitch on there haha.

Nice. A little out of my price ranger lol im looking on craigslist for one but seems like anything will work with a bit of trimming.

 

^^^don't let that price fool ya, with a bit of shopping around, I got mine for $180. Still probably more than you want to pay though. I was just thinking it might work for those guys that want to bolt one in, if it's the same as the Hidden Hitch one.

 

i hear ya. yeah im trying to get one for like 50 bucks haha

 

It's not a Ranger, but it may give you some ideas.
For my Sport Trac, I found a hidden style hitch for a Super Duty that was on sale for $50 at bi-mart. I looked around behind the bumper and decided it could be cut down to width, flipped upside down and bolted to the holes where the tow hooks were. I took it to a metal fab guy and and asked if he could do, and he said no problem. A few hours and $80 later, this is what I got.

 

That looks sweet on that explorer with the winch.

 

lolz

 

f*ck korey89

and thanks grant for reminding me that i need to put the hitch on lol

 

lmao youre an idiot

 

i had the hidden hitch mounted in the normal spot, and notched my valance to fit

 

yeah who started this thread ? now I have to do another mod to my truck thanks alot my wife is going to kill me LOL

 

one of these mite be in order for my exploder since it doesn't have tow points on the front

 

Dude....it could be done for a whopping $20 tops. haha.

 

I'm in at $7 in materials. Plus a beer to weld it all up because i don't trust my 120V machine.

 

Supposedly This Hitch Is direct bolt on for 01-08 Rangers and 01-03 B series

 

Too bad nobody wants one that sticks out from under the bumper...

 

That would be me LOL

eww



no wun gun dun won dat
