New Defender Hitches

In our move to switch all of our fabrication work to our preferred shop in Maine, we are now having all of our Series & Defender hitches made there now as well.

In addition to our normal line up, I worked with the shop to create an off road specific version that caters more towards recovery & camper trailer towing with increased departure angle and a slimmer form(went with thicker plate rather than the supports that come outwards)

This should be live on the site in week or so

nice Z! I have the gen 1. Still surprised you don’t add chain rings to it on gen2? I had to add a solution but would seem too easy to weld it on original hitch

I assume that since it includes a backing plate, that this is built for non-Puma rear crossmembers, and that the bottom holes are spaced as such?

Chain rings holes will be on the next version of the standard hitch, there wasn't any room on these off road versions.

Correct, these are 1983-1998

do you have any spare backing plates? my PO decided to not use a washer, and torqued the nut through the back of my crossmember rear wall.
