I've a 2" receiver on both my 350's, and for my tractors I've one for a 3 pt and one clamp on designed for the FEL.

This started me thinking of what else (other than the usual ball mount or wd hitch do people stick in theirs?

I've got a 12K winch mounted on a cradle that fits my 2" receiver. I'm thinking of getting/building a carryall basket.

I've seen toilets mounted on them, seems right useful out in the woods.

A vice makes sense, or a small table to work on.

Any unique suggestions?

When googling the subject hitch mounted stripper poles turned up, but I'm pretty sure SWMBO will nix that :)

I have a vise on one. A HF tire changer. A tow hook. A winch.

Can you post a photo of the tire changer? I am about to do the same with a HF changer. Mainly I'm wondering how far out back it needs to be.

Thanks,

Don't have a pic with me and won't be where it is for at least two weeks. Just go on Utube and type in trailer hitch tire changer and you will get some ideas.

I made a step that stuck out beyond the drivers side of the tailgate so I could climb aboard when my bike was loaded and the tailgate down...

Once in a while my wife gets stuck in her 2wd pickup and I have to go pull her out. We carry a 10,000 lbs receiver tow hook in each our vehicles. If some Good Samaritan stops to help her It gives them the proper place to chain or rope to the truck without tearing anything up (hopefully).
