Default Custom bumpers and hitches for 700 prairie

I was wondering if there is any aftermarket bumpers that are made specifically for the 700 prairie? What about custom bumpers? Has anyone made one for your 700 prairie? Also, what about a custom 2" receiver hitch? I know that there are a few after market hitches that bolt on the stock hitch, but they tend to move from side to side. I would like to find or build a 2" receiver hitch that bolts on where the original hitch bolts on the back differential. That way I can use a longer bar to move the tonge of my trailer away from the back of the quad. Thanks for the help![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Importation Thibault makes a nice aftermarket bumper for the 700. Here are some pictures, it looks quite nice.

I've also noticed that Kimpex now makes a bumper for the 700. Here are some pictures.

Cabelas sells a 2" reciever hitch that is for the p650 that I replaced the factory bracket - i'm not thrilled with it since the pin hole is oval so I'm going to weld up a new on on the factory bracket (assuming its steel) since for under $20 you can get a 6" long 2" reciever tube.

MIKE... That is just what I did... I used a little shorter squar tube, & cut a "wedge" ( you'll see ) out of the squar tube, so that it would slide onto the stock hitch, with 1/3 under & 2/3 on top ( to help keep some of the ground clearance )... it is very sturdy... I'll bet I could pull more with it than the frame could take...

you can see a pic of mine, by clicking the camera icon...
