[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1474078, member: 229"] I have to say that my boy over at KenKay machine shop is insanely good at what he does. I've seen these receiver-recovery Hitch kits online, but none of them were exactly what I was looking for. I dropped the Clevis off with him and described what I wanted (loosely) and he called me a couple of hours later and had it done. He machined it out of a solid piece of steel. I have to point out that he designed the whole thing based on a conversation only - he knocked the edge off of all the sharp-edges, chamfered the corners of the main 2"x2" section so it would fit into a receiver easily, contoured it down to fit the Clevis perfectly, and rounded it so it wouldn't cut a tow-strap (and added the extra pin-hole so it could be flipped side-ways should I need to be pulled out of the mud at an angle - I didn't even think of that when talking to him - that part friggin rocks). I painted it with some ceramic engine paint and threw it in the receiver on the Jeep today and it fits perfectly.
