Custom Hitch Cover Plate...Pics!

[matt99]

Okay well you might of seen my thread a bit ago for a cover plate for that ugly hitch when you have a body lift. Well Ricer from DF hooked me up.

He cut and bent some diamond plate and I sprayed it today. Two self tappers into the bumper and some foam tape between the two (for a cleaner look) for a total install time of 7 minutes

I think it looks great, and really cleans up the back. After Rubberfrogs post on DT with some LED reverse lights in a strip around the hitch, I am thinking about putting some going up the sides and tapped into my reverse lights. Well any of you with a body lift (even if you have the plastic PA piece) this would be a great add on!

I can make these if anybody wants one. Throw in some lights, hole for your camera, whatever.

Looks good, Matt.

Yea frog your light deal was what made me think of it. I wouldn't mind having a set of lights in it. I wish the rugged industry 6" wasn't so expensive

Looks Good Matt, but should you not take off the receiver when not in use. We have a Funny by-law if your not Towing its gotta be off as it could cause xtra damage in an accident. Not sure if any consiquences?? or if its enforced just something I heard. But as long as you don't bang your own shins/knee/quad on it i guess its ok.

 

[matt99]

No we dont have to take it off as far as I know. I actually leave it on due to the fact that it prevents people from hitting your bumpers in some cases. I've had two people back into the hitch while I was in school.

Thats one way of looking at it (Damn Students..J/K) !.
