    I would imagine it would be difficult to source here, certainly from Oz or Us sites, but shipping would be a disaster. Would you consider getting an engineering place to make one. It's basically 2 inch box, with a hole and a bit of trim. Couldn't imagine costing the earth, but wouldn't be load rated.

    Thanks for that. Yes, I would certainly consider having it made. Want to check out if they can be bought here first.

    I got This one from Summit racing in the US, it came with a 2 inch ball which I had to change to a 50mm one.

    Thanks for that hi5.

    I would need something deeper as it is going on a highish landcruiser like this...

    But...

    Where did you get the receiver? Did you have it made?

    The receiver came from Summit racing too, its on a Dodge ram and it bolts on, they do Toyota Landcruiser too.

    I didn't fancy making one up as I use it to pull a good bit of weight.
