I was wondering how strong the hitches are that are built into aftermarket rear bumpers? i can get a hitch for 130$ or a bumper with a reciever built in for 210$. be towing a small boat, 2 place snowmobile trailer, and a dirtbike rack. thanks

happy st. pattys fellow irishmen!!!

alot of those kinds of bumpers also mount to the stock hitch mounting spots or can easily be fabed up to mount to those so id say they are just as strong but with steel prices goin down if you can get your hands on a welder and a grinder with a cut off wheel you can prolly make one for less than 100 that will be just as strong

got two welders and a grinder but steel in my area is scarce.. i usually have to travel at least 30 miles one way to get it..... But id rather build it myself...

def do that then and save your self some money there is a build thread that a guy did on here that turned out great and looked hella strong like he could pull a house over with that bumper, he bolted angle iron to where the hitch's usually mount with the nut strips and then welded that to the bumper
