I welded a triple hitch to our avalanche last year ,one for the quad trailer and the outside ones for the bikes, Ran a tack weld to bumper to connect it all together .Yours looks great!!

Thanks... I think the guy did a great job.

This weekend's project is to chassis-coat it and do some lights (flat 4).

I ran a flat four when I welded the hitch , but need to rewire to a 7 pin because of the new trailer I welded this winter has trailer brakes.:banghead:

Yeah... The stuff I'm comfortable towing behind my 5er isn't large enough to even have brakes (2000 lbs total for twin skis - single axle no brakes)... Beyond that, I'll do something different (like 2nd tow vehicle)..... But that's just my personal preference and current comfort level.

I've seen people tow a lot more than I do - and have success. Some tow their Jeeps/Rockcrawler on a twin axle car hauler.

Yeah I to would be uncomfortable hauling a that much weight for sure. Just a single axel 3500 lbs total max.(very flat around here).
