So I am planning on picking up a small boat this weekend, and I remembered an old Reese hitch my step father gave me. However I am not sure how it bolts on, or if its even compatible with my frontier. These are all the pieces he gave me, no information was given with it ( instructions etc.. ).

I also took a picture of part of the bumper that I believe is where a ball hitch goes? When we bought the truck the previous owner backed into a light pole going pretty slow. I took pictures of it as well, and it looks like you can actually remove this piece from the bumper?

Is there any information on if this Reese is compatible, and how to mount it? And removal or fixing the bent part of the original bumper?

According to summit racing's website no it won't fit.

You can remove that bar by cutting it off or you can straighten it back out with a BFH. If you know someone that welds cut off the old one and get them to weld in a new bar. I wouldn't trust towing with the bar after straightening it out or welding on a new one unless you can get some 200lb+ to jump up and down on it without it bending.

have you tried mocking up the hitch to your frame rails? By the part number it looks to be like a universal hitch by reese. Heres what it looks like assembled.

also the frontier bumper is very weak, so like the previous post said.. nothing a bfh cant fix.

I haven't tried lining it up because I am not entirelly sure how it bolts on. I was looking online for a picture of it assembled and mounted but I haven't gotten anything yet. I am [retty green when it comes to trailer hitches, which is why I would prefer the original instructions or even a picture of the shown pieces mounted.

Your link doesn't work either.

basically the loose plates you have on the pics bolt up the sides of the hitch. Looks like some cutting and welding might be required since the hitch was made for a full size truck.
