Why would you put a hitch on a Challenger? besides the only reson i would consider putting one on is for towing a4place snowmobile trailer. but the frame was not meant for that kind of towing.

Well i guess it would be cool to see the faces on some guy in a F-350 superduty mega cab, or whatever, when i pass him up on the highway towing a 4place encolsed with some 500 pound snowmobiles.

I had my head up under the back of my Challenger this afternoon, and I'm still puzzling how to get a hitch under there without cutting or drilling. Hmmm... there are those big tie-downs bolted to the frame rail...

OK, I have been swayed to post again by the kind words. Thanks. The trailer has now been painted. Yes, it is plum just like the car. It is now almost finished, I need to do some small things still, like a spare tire mount and some trim items. The car and trailer can also be seen in the Feb. 08 Mopar action mag. on page 50.
As far as the trailer hitch on the car... That did take some work to make it fit. I have the dual tips out back and they made an easy install out of the question. The hitch is custom made (by me) to fit around every thing. It is made in 5 parts. (see pics.) I did have to drill 4 holes into the rear frame to bolt to the car. Also 2 holes have been drilled into the bumper by the tag light.

Thats just too cool.
Nice job and way to stand out. Talk about a double take on the highway. You will see the thumbs up sign alot in your travels.

That is cool. If the opportunity present itself, I may do the same thing myself. I am not setup to do welding or cutting but I would make it happen.
