How did you get it for $46? Have you received it yet-does it align with the factory holes in the bumper/crossmember?

Thanks

Yes fits perfect.
The top 2 holes on my rear bumper/subframe are tweaked so I can’t get a bolt into it straight. But that’s an issue on my end.

It was $46 when I ordered. Not sure why the price more than doubled.

I got this one from Cruiser Outfitters. It's not listed on their website, I just called and asked if they had anything that might work for me. I have towed a dual axle trailer full of construction debris to the dump (probably near the 5,000 lb. tow limit for the 80), and a lighter camper many many miles. I have also bashed it on the rocks quite a bit. No issues

Wow that one looks great. I have been dragging my feet on figuring out a bike rack but this would be perfect.

@cruiseroutfit if you have these I definitely need one. Not for towing but needed for a bike rack. This is an awesome option and I bet a bunch of folks would jump on it.

I use this on my LX450. Its well made. I only use it for a bike rack but its heavy duty.

Did you have to modify the mounting holes or rear X member?

The cross member holes on the LX are covered in plastic. I had already removed all of that in preparation for a Delta rear bumper. The hitch bolts right up with no mods to the LX.
Two of the cross member holes are threaded and two are not. You will need suitable hardware.
