Finally figured out how to upload pics. After I figured it out I kinda feel dumb that it was so easy.

Now that you have it.... what are you towing with it?

Just a little harbor freight trailer to run Lowe's trips and such. Later I'll be getting an off-road teardrop but by then I'll have a different bumper so this part won't matter then.
I am also looking for a high clearance setup to tow a small all terrain trailer.
Would this hitch work on a Land Cruiser? Specifically a 99? I understand the bumper cover is notched on the Lexus, but beyond that is the cross member the same?
Do you have to reach behind to install the hitch pin?

If anyone else has that integrated hitch and wants to sell it, pm me. I'm looking for one as well.

Yes you reach behind to insert the pin.
I'm looking for one of these for my LX470. Below is a link to the ebay seller that has them in stock. If anyone wants to get rid of one, I'm interested!

Does anyone know if this would have the same capacity as a class c hitch? Or if mounting it on a LC would need any additional modifications becides cutting a hole?

Got a bike carrier on it and because of its height its quite a hassle to roll even my XR250R on/off it would it be
possible to use a hitch drop extension?

I have one laying around at my shop. $85 plus shipping if someone wants it.
Do you have a pic?
PM Sent about the factory towing attachment.
Yes you can use hitch drop extension, makes it easier to load as well..
but a better tip since you like riding dirtbikes:
try to obtain the utltimate mx hauler, makes loading and unloading so easy regardless of height because it has a jack to raise it up after an easy load. I love mine and used it on dirtbikes as well as dual sports:

I'll post separately, but in case anyone is searching and comes across this thread, I just added an aftermarket rear bumper to my '06 LX470 and removed the OEM towing hitch. I suspect the mounting points will be similar for a LandCruiser, but it also includes a beefy, protective bracket that surrounded the factory exhaust pipe - which may not line up with the pipe on a LandCruiser. If you're interested in purchasing & having it shipped from Austin TX, please PM me. Photo shows trailer hitch in upside down position, so when installed the pipe bracket will be on the right/passenger side. <Update: SOLD>

I was able to purchase a hitch on ebay but through a Lexus Dealer. Note that the factory LX hitch that is the "insert" is a rounded tube and does not accept square receivers. My factory bolts stripped out and I had to add different hardware to attach the receiver. I've also been told by multiple towing places you can't use an equalizer hitch with these, because they are in the cross member a weight-distribution hitch can tweak the frame. If you need a weight-distribution hitch it's better to get the big hitch that actually attaches underneath the frame seen in Longhorn's Post #37. Same issue with 4-runner hitches integrated into the frame instead of bolted on underneath.
