What options for bed mount for hitch

[heffercow]

So got my garage cleaned out enough to actually park the jeep inside. Only probably is I only have about 5 inches of clearance with the garage door which means my hitch can not stay installed.

So what are some options out there for mounting the bitch in the bed so it doesn't fly around as I drive. Molle panels? Square tube and some plate steel? Let me know what you did or what youve seen so I can decide for myself.

Leave it in the corner of the garage and install it when you need to?

I usually mount mine in the passenger seat.

Under the back seat works for me?

Dude…You need to buy a B&W hitch.
They stow ‘out of the way’ when you’re not using it, making it flush to the bumper.

If you need photos of mine, let me know.

I think I just saw someone on reddit mention that you could "reverse" mount it for storage. Not sure if how/if it works with spare tire.....

How about b and w stow and go? The balls fold behind the drop to get them out of the way while not in use.

Maybe I should have read your post before I posted mine. I have one. They’re great. I have two drop lengths that I change to depending on the trailer.

Exactly what I was thinking!

Mount or store? I can see storing your bitch in the passenger seat, but I think room would be an issue trying to mount her there.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

I wrap mine in an old t-shirt and store it behind the back seat. The T-shirt helps because there's no rattle, no mess.

What about a few 2" square U-bolts? I have a triple ball that lives on the hitch but if i really needed to i could throw a couple of these on the molle panel and stow it away.

That’s where I put my wife as well.

Wait. I feel like I missed something. Nah.
