I made my own, since my hitch receiver tube is a non-standard size:
Another option is to get a no-drop hitch, remove the ball and use the hole to attach a shackle to. I used to run one of those, but it was a bit heavy and bulky and I had to remove it from the bumper in between use.

Most any 4x4 shop carries Warn stuff, 4 Wheel Parts Warehouse, etc.
Not sure of the price, $50 would be a good guess.
Or the DIY version is about $15-25 for the drop hitch (most auto parts stores) and $15-25 or so for the shackle, Warn uses 5/8", you can fit up to a 7/8" shackle into a std. 1" hitch ball mounting hole. That's the size shackle I run. I got mine at my local hardware store. Nice thing is you also have a tow ball out of the deal, too. If you already have a drop hitch, no need to buy that part.

I paid around $30 for my Warn shackle at www.central4wd.com
but went to my local one to buy it.

Roger, that is a nice looking one you made.
And who can forget this one?
I think you posted it a few times in the past on 4x4wire.
We have some huge ones like that at work for rigging.
I am going to see if I can get one from the boss to use.

Hitch mounted shackle
Use your hitch receiver, take out the ball, insert at 3/4" shackle, WARN's are around $16.
OR
Buy a WARN hitch receiver shackle for about $40 locally or more w/ shipping.
Tip: If you leave a shackle on your rig all the time, zip tie the pin so it doesn't vibrate loose and fall out.

I made mine as well. I drilled the end of the pin larger to add a padlock (not shown in pic) so nobody walks away with my creation. I'd suggest the same for you. Forty bucks is forty bucks, right?

I don't think this price can be beat, especially when you get free shipping on the weekends. I just bought these last Saturday, should be here by the end of the week. Cheapest I've seen by far.
