Hitch Receiver

[Bruce Branch]

Can I install a hitch receiver myself? I'm sure the answer is yes but I mean is it difficult? Only basic tools required?

It is not difficult, only basic tools required. If you have a 2nd person to help hold it in place, that's always a plus, if not a floor jack can be usefull as well. Most of them are simple bolt on applications, usualy the hardest part is holding it up in place to get the bolts started.

That's what I was hopeing you would say. As simple as it is I'm sure a shop would charge $50 - $100 to install.

Not on the 07's???

Gavin, you are correct. But if i'm not mistaken, War Eagle's profile indicates that he has a 2000 model ST. War Eagle, correct me if i'm mistaken.



Also, I would not pay any more than about ~$80 to install a bolt on hitch. Honestly, you and a friend could do it in about 30 minutes in your drieveway.

Yes, my ST is a 2000. Glad to hear it's easy. I hate paying someone to do something that I know I can do myself.

Thanks

I installed my own, but had to get a bigger socket set. Some of the bolts are huge. There is a project in the projects section.
