Hi everyone, I couldn't find a clear answer in my searches here so I hope this hasn't already been covered. The LR4 I recently bought had a hitch receiver installed but the key portion was missing and unfortunately the lock cylinder was bent & damaged. Through some careful disassembly, I was able to remove the damaged cylinder and also remove the hitch itself but that part is definitely unusable. The hitch seems fine after some cleaning but I will need an entire lock assembly (plus keys) and I can't seem to find any info on getting the whole thing without buying an entirely new hitch. I know one can purchase the lock cover and keys (the green portion) but I haven't been able to find the whole lock assembly.

I'd like to still be able to use the hitch for my bike rack when desired but I don't want to just leave it on all the time. Am I out of luck or is my Google-fu just weak?

 

curious if you had any luck?

 

I did yeah! I was able to clean everything out and do a rebuild. I salvaged all the parts except for the lock cylinder and I got a replacement key and key cover. I ordered a replacement cylinder from https://landrader.com/the-shop. Wasn't the cheapest thing but it resolved the exact problem I was having.

Works just great now! Even just used it again last weekend with my bike rack.
