Hi Derek, Thanks for the info. How are these hitches held in place? The 
regular bumpers, and the hitch that I have, use two bolts per side, near the 
rear apron. Has your mechanic added more mounting points? What 
size/thickness are the components for this hitch. It sounds identical to my 
Class I hitch, rated at 2000#.  tim s.

PS: for the ultimate off-road trailer try contacting British 
Leyland/Landrover. They (used to?) sell a 2 wheel powered trailer that runs 
off the rear PTO unit.
