New rear bumper hitch fabraction.

Now ready to carry two 2000Is Honda gensets and fuel for trip to Alaska.
Used a two scrap pieces of 4X4 3/16 drops...free. A smity built hitch for a 2006 jeep wrangler I never needed...$58.00. Friends help.....nothing....well BBQ and beer..

Took about an hour. One on the back underneath off the rear bumper and one under the rear of the trailer. I had to remove the LPG connection then reattach.
Only welded the piece under the trailer at each end as I didn't want any fires under the coraplastic. Then screwed it down...ran out of screws so will be adding more. Then brush clean and paint.

Good idea. Nothing like welding rusty steel
