    Yes I do, they welded a solid bar about a foot and half to the frame. Then welded another solid tube from it to the back of a class 3 hitch with a Bent Bar Weight Distributing setup. The 2012 Jeep Wrangler 2 door manual trans. lower only 3/8” on all 4 corners with the trailer attached. I install a good electric brake controller. I have towed a lot of trailers, setup was amazing. 14.7l/100kms from Sarnia Ontario to Florida. Average speed 106km/hr. We drove it through mountains in the US and Canada never an issue.

    We didn't repaint, just left it in bare metal (but now we have to paint the endcaps). I used ICI paints hydro strip.. a peroxide based water soluble paint stripper. I'm not sure it's still sold through (I think ICI got bought out). It's a job!!
