I wanted to solve a couple of problems with the stock attachment of the Bantam Civilians:

• Short tongue makes the trailer hard to back up - especially in the RV that this one will often get towed behind.
• Short tongue also makes it hard to haul long stuff like 12’ boats or 18’ lumber - the trailer is too close to the tow vehicle.
• Traditional ball socket is nice for on-road, but I wanted the flexibility of going to the pintle/lunette arrangement for off-road.
• The trailer will get stored outside and I’m concerned about theft.

Putting a receiver on the front solves all of these issues. It welded nicely to the stock yolk.

I then made a short tongue and a four foot tongue - these two pictures show the difference in length:

I can also get a lunette that will plug in on the trailer side, and pintle that will plug in on the Jeep side.  Pulling the tongue when the trailer is not in use makes the trailer harder to steal. 

Update - after 3 years the long tongue finally got used:
