can anyone tell me where to find these? what's a good price for it?

 

Warn makes one

I made my own, since my hitch receiver tube is a non-standard size:





Another option is to get a no-drop hitch, remove the ball and use the hole to attach a shackle to. I used to run one of those, but it was a bit heavy and bulky and I had to remove it from the bumper in between use.

 

thanks for the reply. I was looking for the style that WARN offers. Where can i buy these? WARN website doesn't offer that option. how much do these run?

 

Um, like try and click on the "Dealer Locator" link on Warn's page.

Most any 4x4 shop carries Warn stuff, 4 Wheel Parts Warehouse, etc.

Not sure of the price, $50 would be a good guess.

Or the DIY version is about $15-25 for the drop hitch (most auto parts stores) and $15-25 or so for the shackle, Warn uses 5/8", you can fit up to a 7/8" shackle into a std. 1" hitch ball mounting hole. That's the size shackle I run. I got mine at my local hardware store. Nice thing is you also have a tow ball out of the deal, too. If you already have a drop hitch, no need to buy that part.

 

I paid around $30 for my Warn shackle at www.central4wd.com
but went to my local one to buy it.

Roger, that is a nice looking one you made.
And who can forget this one?
I think you posted it a few times in the past on 4x4wire.



We have some huge ones like that at work for rigging.
I am going to see if I can get one from the boss to use.

Yes, kind of like the Crocodile Dundee scene:

[Dundee is threatened by a mugger with a switchblade]
Mick, give him your wallet.
What for ?
He's got a knife.
[chuckling] That's not a knife.
[Dundee draws a large Bowie knife]
THAT'S a knife.

 

Use your hitch receiver, take out the ball, insert at 3/4" shackle, WARN's are around $16.

OR

Buy a WARN hitch receiver shackle for about $40 locally or more w/ shipping.

Tip: If you leave a shackle on your rig all the time, zip tie the pin so it doesn't vibrate loose and fall out.

 

my thanks to all you guys, especially Rob and Corey
found exactly what i was looking for

 

I made mine as well. I drilled the end of the pin larger to add a padlock (not shown in pic) so nobody walks away with my creation. I'd suggest the same for you. Forty bucks is forty bucks, right?

 

Best price I could find was at Performance Products (PerformanceProducts.com)... I believe it was $35 for the shackle and the hanger.

 

I can't vouch for the quality of these, but this is a set of 2 hangers (Receiver brackets-one hook type and one shackle type) plus a shackle and also a pin and clip. The whole set is only $42.99. I don't think this price can be beat, especially when you get free shipping on the weekends. http://www.4wheelparts.com/4wp/packa...arentPacID=81# I just bought these last Saturday, should be here by the end of the week. Cheapest I've seen by far.

 

The stuff I got is made by Warn, so the quality is top-notch.

 

Sorry, I was talking about vouching for the quality of the set I described on 4wheelparts.com and I forghot to put the link in the post! Whoops....
