Itching for a Hitch - question about bumper

[JoFotoz]

I have installed one...

...and Tom is right

Bolts up to frame under back of cladding 'lower lip'.

However.. depending on how you run the electrics..
... freeing up the cladding to pull outwards..but not removing it can help.

I keep my wire harness in the jack compartment & just run it out the door when needed.

My pet peeve is seeing trashed wires dangling from the back of a truck.

Caution though, make sure you get a good ground for your converter. A bad ground produces some pretty wonky effects.

Good plan..

Gonna have to do same..

....much tidier / less exposure to elements

Jo, know that you wheel, any issue with clearance?

[JoFotoz]

Yup....

Jo, know that you wheel, any issue with clearance?

...BUT, in the best possible way.

Lower edges of outer plates act as GREAT 'skid rails' when exit angles are steep.
It makes a horrific noise and scares the **** out of you first time !!!
But totally protects underside at back.

I now 'use' it deliberately... with no problems other than minor edge burring to plates.

A great secondary gain of the Curt Hitch is rear end collision protection
I've had two tap mine pretty hard...
....cost them plenty in cracked f/glass-Plastic bumpers..I had NO damage.
