    Default Looking at hitches.

    Thinking about a Da'Lan Hidden Hitch for white. Pros and Cons over other hitches.

    Please
    Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

    More expensive than bailing wire?

    Mark G. asked someone about it on the way out yesterday. I think the owner's name was/is Curt Janish or something like that.

    I saw it. Thats what made me start tinking about buying one. $$$$$$$$$$ is not in the racing budget right now though. Unless POS sells me his for, say, 50 bucks (like that will ever happen)

    I have a non-hidden Delan on my '99 Sport.

    I say go for the non-hidden. It allows you to use the hitch for other standard accessories like bike racks.

    I have a Da'Lan Hidden Hitch for my '99, and I love it! Check out page 4 of my CarDomain site, and you'll see just how hidden that hitch is. If you don't have the ball on (or in my case, the TireTail), you simply cannot see that hitch at all... even if you are eyelevel with the bumper. That picture looks like I've stuck the TireTail directly into my muffler!

    So you asked for Pros and Cons:
    • Pros
      - Hidden
      - 4 bolt install (not hard, but I had U-Haul install it)
      - Comes with the hitch extension (thing you screw the ball into)
      - Did I mention hidden?

      Cons
      - Won't work with bike mounts (altiain makes a good point)
      - Not available locally (that I know of)
      - Expensive? It runs a little over $200
    You can order it from iZoom Graphics. Like I said, I really like mine.

    Kurt Janish, CP driver extradornaire, and proprietor of Janco Products in Wiley has the trailer for sale. Not sure what he was asking for it, but you can call him at: 972 442 6558.
