OK - the hitch will be your bumper now (actually stronger than the tube anyway) but now the lower cladding bolts to ... thin air

OK - replicate the cladding mounting features to the hitch

OK - but now the bracket that everyone attaches the shackle to on the passenger side is in the way

OK - remove bracket, don't need no stinkin shackle - just get a receiver mounted mr scarey hook from Northern Tool ($20)

OK - But KAT needs her receiver pin relocated (she's special)

OK - But Dub needs a skull engraved on his

OK - But JAMAS needs his powder coated a special color to match his cargo boxes

OK - But circmand STILL ain't happy wit it
Ok--- so I'm anxious!! when and how much??
