    removable hi-rise hitch?

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to remove the rear recovery point and put a hitch receiver in that space? I'm happy to lose the spare tyre under the car to do so.

    I'd like to get a higher hitch point such as the mitch hitch, but would like it ideally concealed or atleast removable so I don't kill my knees, as I don't use it often. But when I do use it, i need a good departure angle.

    cheers
    james

    Okay so im thinking about cutting out the recovery point, and having a custom receiver welded in by a towbar company and getting it certified, like a lc200
    The receiver would be flush with the bumper so the cover can go back on
    I might put a kaymar on later
    Does it need to be recessed for the kaymar? The kaymar probably needs a custom hole
    I would remove the spare tyre and put it on a rear bumper carrier if necessary
    Thoughts?

    Why not install this one and remove it when not in use?


    Land Rover parts and servicing specialists - British Off Road - Recovery Hi Rise Tow Hitch


    That's my plan, use the LR one for my motorcycle trailer which has a very low connection point and install the high rise one when I tow our off road van


    Not sure that modifying the car in such a drastic fashion is really the right thing to do?

    We have an Ultimate camper which has quite a high ride height and using the supplied LR hitch tongue creates a nose down issue. So went to our local Allin's tower suppliers here in Adelaide and for around $90 I now have an extended height, around 160mm tongue on which I have remounted our OzHitch. Looks to have fixed the problem but only time will tell
