More than 2x+ gauge the frame it's mounted on.

 

 

50$ replacement after sandblasting

 

SAME! I am wondering if the hitch receiver on the back is STOCK? or was it something added after the fact? Because I cannot find a part number for the dang thing

 

I posted the part number above and gave a link to look it up too. 15212432 alternate # 15058406
It is a discontinued part and is no longer available new. Ebay or a junkyard that has an H2 is likely going to be the only place you find one. There is only one on eBay..... https://www.ebay.com/itm/293734899309

 

it pays to check your local salvage yards or listing of people parting out an H2 as i got mine for a reasonable price of 50$ it did have light surface rusting but it cleaned up perfect as you can see in my pic above after a quick sand blasting, not the crazy online pricing for some that looked not to far off from my original piece of crap. the day before i had offered 250$ to a seller on ebay and he refused. thank god he did cause i saved 200 and got one in better condition to what he was selling. and no shipping costs.

 

I missed that, thank you for this!
