I'm putting a roll pan on the back of my 82. I want to put a frame connector on also. Does anyone have any pictures of a frame connector installed??? :cool:

When you say frame connector are you talking about the brace that mounts between the bumper shocks and runs across the back of the frame?

He's talking about the connector that replaces the bumper when using a roll pan. It's a must have item when using a roll pan. Without it, theres nothing holding the rear frame rails together, and nothing for protection in case of getting rear-ended.

I got a trailer hitch that looks like it would do the job...

Would a trailer hitch accomplish the same thing?

Could a trailer hitch effectively be welded into the Honest Charlie connector?
