    Unfortunately I didn't install my Tone hitch as I am not so good with the mechanical arts. But the shop I used told me the measurements that came from Tone were not correct when they went to install it. I know Tone made a bunch of these things, so maybe you chalk it up to variations in production quality (since VX's were hand assembled)?

    Completed Project

    Thanks for all of the help...







    Still needs a good wash and clean up...but it's been a bit brisk here...

    Here's a tip: Make sure you have your cladding on something soft when you lay it down and when you are cutting the notch for the hitch so the edges dont get all scraped up. Do not ask how I know this...
