Attak cooler and hitch???

[chaserdog]

Wondering if anyone knows if you put the rear heat exchanger on an 06 attak if the attak tow hitch will fit on too? The hitch bolts through the rear pan extension and looks like it goes in toward the seat to far to allow the cooler to be added. If any body has any input I would apprecitate it.

I added the cooler, takes very little extra space, and under the flap. The hitch option looks to mount like the regular bumper.

Which should be fine, after all might need more cooling if we're towing.

I don't really understand why you have to spend the 100 dollars or so on a separate bumper for a hitch. If I can lift up my machine by the stock bumper, it is obviously strong enough. You should be able to buy a bracket and swivel for about 20 and adapt it. Getting it to look good may take a little effort.

Does anyone have a part number for the cooler?

I believe the rear heat exchanger part no. for a 136 inch is 8EP-RHECR-KT-00.

Huh? Nah. I wouldn't pull anything through that little aluminum tube. You can put a LOT more force on it by towing than lifting. It wouldn't take much to bend the grab bar.

You may be right, LB. I haven't had a chance to pull anything yet so I can't vouch for it. I only have a lightweight fiberglass sleigh for ice fishing gear. Pulling a two person cutter may be a different story.
