That being said, it's getting tossed in favor of an OEM mount.

Before you junk it, any chance you'd ship it? I could us it to make a mount for my removable vise.
Bolt on trailer hitch receiver?

Sweet! I'm all about upcycling. lol
I've been keeping a lookout for a cheap 2" receiver hitch to cut up for that vise project 'cuz the metal yard will only sell their square tubing by the full joint.

Are you using the antennas for communications? or were they used by the previous agency?

That big one in back is some GPS antenna left on there by the agency.
The one in the front is for my amateur radio rig (it nicely filled the NMO-sized) lightbar hole.

If you see me running, I would try to keep up.
Look. I was a union welder here in Phoenix az. I built bridges. Before that I was a certified tig welder for Honeywell aerospace. Hey look that bolt on is cool for around the farm, land whatever. NOT for the road. I can make some neat things but when it comes down to someone's life or the price of what ever you are carrying on the trailer just get a factory ssv bumper reinforcement with the hitch built into it. Mine cost $150. My side by side that is pulled behind my tahoe cost 15K. If I had some bolt on hitch and for some reason it failed, there goes my 15k side by side. Maybe the chain will hold and it comes up and hits my tahoe. Now I have to fix everything and figure out a way to get it home. The cost of a original hitch out weights the cost of the endless mess it will create in the future. Sorry to be blunt
Agree in principle, but the OP said this is a one-time deal for him, and I'll bet he was pretty careful with the tow. @iamdub will surely make good use of it for his vise.

Sure will! Currently, I use my Tahoe's hitch as the mount when I need to use that vise. Y'all know I'm ghetto FABulous, though.

Good news, @Eod1 , the world can rest easy with the knowledge that I was able to install a bumper reinforcement with a hitch. Now I can go back to taking S-curves at 55mph with my 24' enclosed trailer.
No...... bumper is crooked, DO NOT DRAG THAT DOGONE TRAILER ANYWHERE UNTIL YOU FIX THAT BUMPER....
