Looking for a hitch/ reciever for my gen II. I want the one that just bolts on behind the rear hook like everyone else has. Anyone know where to get one and how much? Thanks!

4crawler.com can make one for you.
He made one for me and should still have the drawings/plans to remake one.
This is one that bolts into place using the 4 stock bolt points in the center of the bumper and has no drop to it unlike most other hitches which require you to loose alot of rear end clearance (4-6").

Check out "Sure Pull" that is the brand of mine. I have had it for years and I am not sure how much I paid for it. This is same as mine. www.hitch-web.com

Hope this helps some.
2000 Montero. Lockers front/rear, lower gears, stuff inside, and tent on top.
Sorry it was a few years back so I don't recall the price off hand. Plus mine was sort of the prototype / beta version and also metal prices have fluctuated wildly since then so I suspect his pricing will be different now.
One other thing... I had him design mine primarily as a snatch point. I'm not sure how much weight the hitch of this design can handle since it only bolts into the 4 stock bolt points which would bear the brunt of the load straight backwards versus a typical hitch which bears it on the sides where it usually is attached and not just the front center area. Questions for a design engineer to look at and answer if you plan to use it for towing.

I do plan to tow a small boat. Nothing a dodge neon couldn't tow! I have the plate with the (eye-hook) setting there now which I am sure would be fine for recovery. I just need to get my brother and mines boat to some muddy places at times. I really am thankful for all of the help!
