Yeah, like mine, Tone's hitch is bolt on, through the cladding:
It is NOT easy to install, imo. What makes it difficult is pulling away the back cladding and getting to the bolts on the side. I used mini vice grips with a tor-x bit clamped in at a 90 degree angle. Drilling the holes is a little difficult too, as lining things up is a little bit tricky. However, this is the nicest looking hitch for the VX. IMO, the ones that hang underneath look like something that doesn't belong. Plus, having a hitch in any form will decrease ground clearance. Even lifted my hitch scraped in Moab a few times. The ones that go under the cladding probably will take a hard beating if you wheel.
