    Nope. Somebody please give that man a lolliepop. 2 guesses & both wrong.

    Just rattling yer cage Dude.

    This will be completely hidden by the cladding ('cept for the receiver). It's the next generation of the Tone hitch. It's inspired by 'Buns of Steel' to give your VX the tightest hiney in town.

    I went with the Curt hitch.... I know, I know it gives the "filled diaper" look as Tom4bren as mentioned but.............

    in my many years of R & I bumpers, I have never seen ones so whimpy!
    I don't know how they even passed the US 10 mph standards.?.?

    So, if you are just gonna use it for a camping grill holder or step bar, I would go with the strength of the Curt that bolts to the frame rails.

    Sorry, I misinterpreted what you were asking. I thought that you were asking which of the two links you posted were what we've been calling the Tone upgrade.

    Sorry, I don't know. Maybe PM SilverBullet. I think he's the most knowlegable about the Curt design.

    I crack myself up sometimes. Mom always told me though that I think I'm a wit ... & I'm half right.

    Actually, the parts in Tone's design are uber strong ... it's what it's mounted to that doesn't 'cut the mustard'.

    So, if you are just gonna use it for a camping grill holder or step bar, I would go with the strength of the Curt that bolts to the frame rails.

    I have no response to that

    not sure if the inside works as well but the outside is easier to mount

    I talked to Welder Guy last night. I'm supposed to hook up with him next Thursday or Friday for him to fit check the new design (& to locate the tabs for the cladding bolts). Will keep you posted.

    sure, but it'll be ugly. It'll still just be tacked together & not fully welded.

    I'm wondering if the hitch will fit the same notch in Rowhard's fiberglass rear skid plate. Any good info on that would be greatly appreciated!

    I dont want to speak for him, but I believe Tom will make sure the hitch fits in his existing "slot" already cut out for the Tone style hitch. So if its in the same position as before, I would say it will fit the same notch in the Rowhards fiberglass rear skid plate.
