There are all kinds of channel pintel hitches in the 10" riser range. Just stay away from the real cheap ones. I purchased the one below and it's built like a tank. I used a very heavy duty channel pintel adapter for the hitch.

Drop channel hitch
If you own a green metal machine you really need to learn to spin a wrench on them or go broke paying someone else to do it. No offense just my .02 cents.

Yeah the price is a bit high for sure but they do work well and mine have been on for a few years with zero issues. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet.

And these trucks are so easy to work on if they ever have any problems which is highly unlikely. The repair parts are very inexpensive and readily available everywhere. If you believe the above I have this really nice bridge for sale for an unbelievable price.

Put in a solarizer unit. Helps keep the batteries from sulfating over extended periods of time. My truck sits over the winter here in New England and in the spring is still charged up ready to go. Been using the unit for years.

The adapters make installation easy.
The jeep mirrors can be had on Amazon or Fleabay.

You can tighten the Jeep mirrors and mine don't move at all and work great. I have a light bar and made the stock mirrors useless on the pass side.

I went with two Optimas with the adapter trays for a great fit. Almost three years now with no issues. I also run a Pulsetech Solagizer. I park my Hmmwv for the winter and that unit helps keep the batteries up to snuff.

Check the batteries independently of each other for voltage. Should be around 12.6 12.7 for a fully charged battery. After it's been sitting for a bit. (Flooded)
A urine and stool sample is required for expired subscriptions beyond 90 days. I think this requirement is over the top but I don't make the rules here so...

I agree, 60mph for a three speed and 70mph for a four speed. Any more than that you are pushing things. The portals don't like much more than that either. At this stage of the game I'm not in much of a hurry.

Yes good luck. These can be a real bear. Some you get from up top some from down below and the rears from inside the cab. Horrible design from the get go. Please make sure to use some copper never seize on the threads of the new ones.
I sure hope you got real ones and not that chicom junk.
