Vahkil Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I am in the pre-planning stage of thinking up a way to make a Do-It-Yourself Hitch for my sedan for the sole purpose of attaching a hitch bike rack. Anyone else out there already do this? I am interested in making brackets that are permanently attached to the frame and come down near the mufflers but out of sight of a person standing near the car. The crossbar and hitch portion will be detachable from these brackets, so I don't have to look at an ugly hitch while I'm not hauling bikes. This is all kind of just in my head as I have not taken any measurements what-so-ever. I am simply pinging the crowd here to see what the thoughts are about this. I think I can easily build it for under the going $150 for a Hidden Hitch (not to mention the added aesthetic value of a removable hitch). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-lo Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 good luck! if you can make it and make it safe and is more eye pleasing than the hidden hitch than perhaps you can market them. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
