    I just finished installing Tone's hitch on mine and it turned out great. KUDOS Tone.

    Yup, Tone's hitch is fantastic, but it is no fun to install!

    It was labor intensive but actually not that difficult. The only problem I had was when I removed the tail skirt, I broke 2 of the mounting flanges. Thank God for PC-7. If I hadn't told you nobody would have ever known.

    It did take longer than the 4 hours indicated but that was because 1) I'm slow. 2) My drill with the 1/2 inch chuck is cordless and the battery was dead. 3) I'm slow. 4) My Brother-in-law helped & he's slow-er

    For me, it was the side cladding torque screws that were a whore to get off. Other than that, yeah, just a little labor intensive, but that is fine with me.

    Its a great, solid hitch, and it looks sweet too.

    those "the side cladding torque screws" you mentioned were the ones that went through tail skirt flanges I broke off on the passenger side.
