Здравствуйте!
После установки лифта кузова (3 дюйма) между бампером и буксирным крюком появился большой и некрасивый зазор.
Я делаю новую instance, чтобы подтянуть ее.
Габариты рассчитаны плохо: confused:. Оказалось очень большим: oops:.
Я делаю из титана.
Дополнительно составлен шаг. Это можно удалить. И можно оставить.
Я купил кованый крючок для двойного использования.
Так......
Я нарезал лист титана - согнул канал и кронштейны и продольно-фрезерные слоты в кронштейнах, а на этапе - сварка - просверлил отверстия - выполнил пескоструйную обработку.


PS
Продолжение следует со второй заминкой ...
Это будет сделано под новый бампер из нержавеющей стали.
Будет интереснее;)

English please, so I can learn more about this product. Thanks.
Hello!
After installing the body lift (3 inches) between the bumper and the towing hook appeared a large and ugly gap.
I am doing a new instance to pull it up.
Dimensions are calculated poorly: confused :. Turned out to be very large: oops :.
I make from titanium.
Additionally compiled a step. This can be removed. And you can leave it.
I bought a forged hook for dual use.
So......
I cut a sheet of titanium - bent the channel and the brackets and longitudinally milling slots in the brackets, and at the stage - welding - drilled holes - performed sandblasting.


PS
To be continued with a second hitch ...
This will be done under the new stainless steel bumper.
It will be more interesting;)

Therefore, it may be an order from the gods

I will cut the Tu-160 (according to NATO classification Blackjack);)

The new stainless steel rear bumper required an individual hitch shape and size.
The algorithm of operations is the same.
+ receiver for tongue with ball
+ powder coating.

In the finals of working with a titanium towbar, it was necessary to make a decent ball of language.
Suburban 2500 ....... came to Russia from the USA for disassembly.
On chrome on the ball is always corrosion.
Not beautiful!
I make stainless steel. But, not every steel is used for a ball of tongue.
I took a forged high alloy stainless steel wheel EI 69 (according to Russian classification) or
45X14N14V2M (no analogues)

How many comments do people make there about having an American flag in your bumper?

Сколько комментариев люди пишут о наличии американского флага на вашем бампере?

Smart people understand that the American flag must be on the American car.
And big and powerful cars are the personification of America.
By the way, in my works on Tahoe Suburban there are a lot of interesting stylizations of the American flag.
I’ll look and give a photo later .....

Stainless is not the best material for tow hitches and balls due to different mechanical properties. And I am throwing a BS flag on Titanium which is INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO CUT and weld....

I had no difficulties in cutting and welding titanium.
Yes! Not every stainless steel is suitable for a towbar.
But! "Steel 45X14N14V2M is used for the production of fittings and pipelines, forgings, motor valves, diesel parts and special fasteners for long-term operation ..."
I think that high nickel and the presence of tungsten and molybdenum will ensure reliability.

A folding step with the American flag in the form of an insert in the hitch is made of aluminum and titanium.
Cutting - milling - welding - powder coating.
