Just reminds me too much of the mainstream brotruck brands.

It might go really great with a set of Rockstar wheels

I got it for added rear end protection but it's proved useful for sitting, standing and it stays mounted secured with no movement...come off for a hitch ball quickly too...I like the lines/shape of this design...
I like it , does it really come off quickly even with the ubolt clamp thing ?

I have THIS one that I got off Amazon for $40 as an open box a couple years ago. I figured that if it was actually worth anything then an open box couldn't be messed up.

I was right. It's VERY solid. Solid steel actually.

They have a used one now for $43 so it's gone up a bit.

Super strong, makes a great step, and also is easy to attach a tow strap to it.

I only mount it for a trail ride, though I've been thinking about running it more often as the tailgaters increase. I've never had to use the anti-rattle contraption pictured.

I just put one on my ranger and like it. It is very loose in the hitch but the anti rattle device that came with it made it solid. Works good with a strap for light tugs.

Not here to argue , just pointing out something to be aware of . Many advertise to sue your own insurance company for your own injuries after an accident involving a hitch , imagine the ones that sue on behalf of the occupants of the other vehicle !

In the mid 90's I remember there were more law students in school than there were lawyers in the world at that time . The effects are showing up now . I can name 10 ambulance chasers off the top of my head right now due to all the repeated TV, radio and billboard ads that keep flooding my head with catchy jingles and I'm not even their target . I forget to remove mine once in awhile but mostly tend to remove it as it makes noise anyway when left in the receiver .
Ambulance chasers.

Are they saying that the person who rear ends another vehicle with a hitch can sue? God help the motorcyclist...

This one's for @OFC Ranger...Stars baby...?

Why in the world do they do this... ugh

Either do simple regular ol' holes, or better yet, weld a piece of diamond plating for those spots.

That crap just screams, "I'm going to hang out with Lindsey in the Cook-Out parking lot at 11pm to listen to Florida-Georgia Line and talk about how at 18 years old my dad who owns a construction company pretty much lets me be the boss of job sites so I can get in Lindsey's panties"
