Rear bumper for hitch- crash rated

[VX KAT]

I'm thinkin it's a good idea that shouldn't be done.

Good idea = any hiney protection is a good thing.

Shouldn't be done = not sure of the vertical strength of the receiver like you said & because it may grab an obstacle rather than slide over it (sorta like my Calmini crossmember).

Thanks Tom. Here's my Plan B idea. I bought this too. What think you?

Not much better.

It would've been much better if they had added a horizontal piece across the bottom. I'm still thinking it'll grab an obstacle rather than slide over it.

Just my $.02
