    Has anyone added a 2" x 2" receiver ?

    All good info and ideas ! Think I will stick with the under mount. Thanks PS for the photos. Maybe I can use the pintle rear nut for a pickup point for the inside plate ? The rear plate could slide over the pintle shaft and bolt to the 2" x 2" receive ? Or, maybe the lower cross brace bolts ...
