Itsajeepthing96 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Looking for a rear hitch for my 87 Comanche chief sb
Strokermjcomanche Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I had one made at uhaul $368 . Then I bought a used one my other truck 75 bucks
Itsajeepthing96 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 Yeah I'm aware it's gunna be a tough hunt but I figured if anybody's gunna have one or know where to get one it's gunna be here. When I bought my 4x4 manche it had the draw tite hitch actually made for the truck. Well it was pretty rotted and snapped clean right through lol. So here I am. I heard about the Reese multi fit hitch working but if I can my hands on one made for it that would be better lol.
Itsajeepthing96 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 How long ago did you have uhaul make one?
desertmike Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Might as well get a complete bumper. http://www.jcroffroad.com/product/XJB/DIY-MJ-R.html
Itsajeepthing96 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 So ended up talking to uhaul about making one. They quoted 1000$ to make a fricken hitch. I'm thinking of just drawing it up in cad and having someone make it for me. Does anyone know anybody here has made prints for it?
Strokermjcomanche Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 What !!!!! I still have my paperwork showing what I paid to have them make me one I'm gonna call and ream them a new one . I'll let you know what I found out .
Strokermjcomanche Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Long story short cequent towing products in Indiana made mine . They had a guy that specifically made "custom" hitches for uhaul. That location has since closed and moved to Mexico . I'm waiting for a callback to see if they still will make these and how much it will be . It better be the same amount I paid last year .

This hitch issue comes up about every 6 months. The drawings have been made and posted. Look for a thread started by TerraWombat (?). Somebody just last week was using these drawings to plasma cut the brackets and wanted to know if anyone else needed a set for $50 plus shipping. I will see about posting a link when I find it. In the mean time, please use the search function and save yourself lots of $$ and duplicate effort.
terrawombat Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Yea, I made a print a while back. Use it at your own discretion - it worked great on my '88 SWB SporTruck, but it was a little tight on my '88 LWB Pioneer. I probably get 2-3 PM every 3-4 months with people asking about the print - seeing if they can reproduce it for a profit. I have yet to see anyone offer it up for sale.
