Here's a tan one listed on ebay:

Apparently the earlier model tan ones are not rated as highly as the newer black model. Google search offered a number of articles on it.

Cooler to tow the H1 with the Pinz! :D

This one came on my truck when I bought it. The PO's off road group had a rule that everyone had to have one to make the recovery easier. I have a slide in coupler that locks in with a normal tow pin. I think you can make it for less that the cost of the one on eBay, just not as trick looking!

Yeah Im trying to work a deal on it right now - gonna have to get some H1 tow loops and Gobi steps like I have on my Hummer and bolt them on the Expedition Imports bumper to attach it to the Pinz.
I better take some measurments before I get too deep into this deal to back out and make sure everything will work ok. LOL!

Glynn: I plan to paint the bumper & tow bar this summer to match the body green color. That will help it look "a bit more stock", but not add much "trickness". :roll:

So the Hummer receiver is at 21 inches from the ground and Pinz bumper is at 31 inches !!

Thats not going to make for a good level tow bar.

Could one put a 10 inch drop UP?????

Might look goofy but it would work and stay below my spare and within the area of my rear bumper. HMMMMM!
