Yeah, the hitch is laying on the garage floor.....I might try to shim it down a bit and put it back on, but that's another days project.

Looks nice Cookie. Just an idea, why don't you put the hitch back on in the stock position, cut a square hole for the receiver to go through, and mount your license plate on a flip down folder like old cars used to have. That way you just flip down the plate slide in your receiver and your ready to tow.

I angled it down just a tiny bit at the bottom in an attempt to minimize that effect, but if it doesn't work and people are forced to back off.....so much the better. Not being sadistic, just realistic.

Not a bad idea HeatStroked, I may just go ahead and tack it in a couple of spots....after it warms up, 19 degrees and four inches of snow on the ground right now.

Yeah, a little Dodge Neon drove up under me at a stop light a couple weeks ago.

One of our work trucks has a similar looking rear bumper in black, it's skookum!. All I can say is I hope that a small car doesn't want to park under it. Can you say can opener...
