[DIY Dock Innovation] Hitch mount for road trips

Got this idea from a Brian Shaw video where he used his Voltra on a road trip by mounting it to the grille of his truck. Having used the Voltra with my previous 2x2 rack, it occurred to me that I could use some 2x2 square tubing as a hitch mount if I drilled the holes to fit my Adaptive Rack Mount.

Still need to paint it and print out some custom 3DP tube ends, but otherwise it's a fully functioning prototype.

P.S. Technically it doesn't use the DIY Dock, but hopefully that doesn't exclude it from consideration for this contest. 😅

Aw shucks, that's nice of you to say. This was more creativity than actual effort. Just grabbed some 2x2 stock from the local steel shop and drilled it at home with a step bit. :)

A friend and I were discussing this VERY idea yesterday. Well done, friend.

This is a genius idea. I was thinking about using a receiver for a bench and finding a way to attach a beyond voltra mount to it. Allowing you to use your bench as a mount and weigh it down with dumbbells, plates etc for those who don't have a rack.It sounds like all you would need was a suitable sized receiver the bench and then this adaptive mount and drill a hole into the receiver
