OT,
I have removed my 5vr hitch, and would like to ask about filling the holes.
What would you recommend that I use. I was thinking of Carriage bolts.
Rubber plugs would be nice too.

My first thought was carriage bolts, also. They would be more durable than plugs, if you were to slide something over them.
