Do you think the H3 bumper is strong enough to bolt this to?

I have no trailer hitch.
Would I be able to use this if bolted to the bumper.


Would it work for a motorcycle trailer or small camper ?
I would like to take a small camper out on the beach ,and I heard these work well for off roading.

try to find a reciever incert hitch that has a plate that you could mount that to ;) i dont think that the bumper is strong enough for towing . gotta get some kind of frame mounted reciever

I have seen the ones that plug into a receiver. They work great off road dealing with articulation differences between rig and trailer. My uncle has one that he tows jet skis to the river. We will womp the truck back into secluded beaches and launch the skis from where ever we want. My other buddy has an old cj and tows an off road trailer with tent and all and made through the rubicon with it, so definately stout and hold up well. As far as an H3 towing something off road, maybe a tent trailer max or single cycle trailer.:beerchug:

Yeh I figured ,also the realized h3 bumper is not flat.

Gotta get a hitch one of these days,I keep putting it off

I have a pintle hook like that that is bolted to a 2" receiver. They also have one that swivels for rough ground.

I would recomend getting a trailer hitch with a receiver and go from there.

The bumper is just sheet metal.

I agree with other, DO NOT fasten that to the bumper, and then a trailer to the hook. If you do, your Hummer will be lighter.
