I'll look up that brand, thanks. Good advice about the base plate and bracing parts--I'll certainly keep that in mind.
Oh, and flat black paint is a great idea. Thanks!
Thanks, Russ! I had run across Blue Ox while doing a search, but I didn't know enough to assess that we had this base plate. (One of us will roll under there to try to confirm.) I'm sure my husband will take one look at the instructions and say "hell, no" to uninstalling it. This info gives me...
Yeah, there is that. After I told my husband it was a few bucks to install (we also have the braking system) we thought keeping it might be good for a resale, whenever that would be. But I don't want to be annoyed by it for a few years.
We bought a low-mileage 2021 Gladiator with a flat tow set-up. We don't want to remove it but want to figure out a way, if possible, to cover up the hitch. I don't know what brand of hitch it is, and Google Lens isn't helping. We don't need a winch, and I'm not sure a grill guard or other bumper...
