Quick camping trip to local lake. Testing some of the added lighting and battery box to the setup:

This was always my understanding of the BTB option at the time I looked at it and the reason I considered still going with it despite its high cost. Wouldn't make sense to create a custom hitch design for a specific vehicle and then force customers to drill new holes in said vehicles frame in...

At the time I looked at this (its been years now), the BTB products was the only game in town for fit-up on one of these, at least for a new hitch. My understanding then was that it was set up to be truly bolt on and line up with existing holes. My only issue with it was that they are so proud...

Yeah sorry here. I re-read your post. I thought you were talking about the curt class I. I'm with you now.

Just FYI, my experience with this hitch was that once loaded with bikes it becomes fairly springy and flops round a lot while driving loaded. One bike is prolly fine but if you carry multiple you may risk having them touch the ground going over bumps. I found the class one to fit fine but it's...

As someone who went through the same journey as you OP, I went the 60 series route. Some things I learned: 1. Do not compare a 60 series to a modern vehicle. You will likely be disappointed. 2. Test drive one. Test drive will likely make a lot of the decisions for you. They are very different...

@jesus888 I wouldn't underestimate what it takes to drill holes in your frame if that is needed. It's not an easy undertaking. I put this one on my FJ60. Was not a perfect fit but with some griding and drilling I got it on there. I used a CURT 13402 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch I can't get...

I have this one, but not sure it's the one you are looking for. It's not specifically for the 3FE but I think includes some 3FE information. Maybe not as detailed as you would like. I'll include it here in case its helpful. HTH.

I had originally put a 7-way trailer plug on the trailer when I first restored it years ago, but only ran the wiring for a 4-way light setup. I liked the way the 7-way plug connected to its socket, but only needed the 4-way wiring run back to trailer lights. Trailer just had stop, tail, turn...

Some updates on the trailer. I decided I just didn't like the battery setup. It was functional but I wanted some more control on how I can customize my battery setup. I decided to build one of these ammo can bug out battery boxes everyone makes on youtube. Did mine a little different than what I...

All you gotta do now is get one of Chase's Dash Bezels to fix up that cracked up one. ;)
