Title: MCI 9/12 Hitch Needed, and toad stuffs
Post by: Beachfinn on March 02, 2016, 07:09:05 AM
Looking if someone might have a spare hitch in TX (I'm in DFW right now). Will be driving in my car from FL back to TX next weekend, so anywhere along that route could work also. I know there use to be a guy somewhere in TX that had build few, but that was years ago? I know Busses 101 has some, but I'd rather not pay quite that much with shipping.
Also interested on: tow bar, magical light box (24-12v) to hook up a toad (Jeep).

Thanks !

Sami

Sami,

Just a heads up. Beware of ordering from Busses 101. They are affiliated with this guyhttp://articles.mcall.com/2006-05-19/news/3668503_1_jury-convicts-man-deception-samuel-walker (http://articles.mcall.com/2006-05-19/news/3668503_1_jury-convicts-man-deception-samuel-walker)

Cheers,

John

Very bad history, multiple scams, a lot of ruined dreams.

happy coaching!

Thanks for the heads up, I did read something about that on some older posts, but never saw the actual article.

Look on e bay for tow bars and the other pieces brackets etc. The tow plate can be made out of 1/4 " plate by a good welder. 2" receiver and bolt on the plate done.

I got one that was made for me for our 96A back when we had MCI's laying in the shop floor.
If you want to pay a shipper to stop and pick it up I'll send it to ya free! Ain't doing me any good and if it's still here next time I round up scrap it won't be here after I round up scrap!  ;)
