    2024 TX MV Rally

    I’ll have to confirm actual timing as it may depend on the availability of a police escort. A rough estimate is that we’ll leave the campsite between 7-8am. We typically leave the museum around 2pm.

    Adding 2” receiver hitch to HMMWV and hit a snag

    @MarkM - I just saw in another thread how you mounted the pintle hitch on the bumper extension and put the 2” receiver hitch in the original pintle hitch location. Unfortunately, that’s not an option for me.

    Adding 2” receiver hitch to HMMWV and hit a snag

    I just remembered where I got the picture in my first post. It was from AR Hog Hummer’s truck. @AR Hog Hummer - Did you have any issues mounting the 2” receiver hitch on your HMMWV?

    Adding 2” receiver hitch to HMMWV and hit a snag

    Adding 2” receiver hitch to HMMWV and hit a snag

    Pictures are a little tricky because most of the assembly is bolted on the truck at the moment. Going from the rear forwards, the pieces are: 1) Pintle 2) Beveled plate for pintle to sit in 3) Plate with bent ears for safety chains 4) 1/2” plate from aftermarket receiver hitch 5) Bumper 6)...

    Adding 2” receiver hitch to HMMWV and hit a snag

    Great questions. I need pretty close to 1/2” of clearance. There is only one washer on the shaft. Did you install your set-up? If so, how did you make it work? The shaft already has two holes for the cotter pin. They are drilled at a 90 degree angle to each other. I am using grade 8 bolts
