I'm happy with my Warfab Sheridan.

Just duct tape the Quadratech catalog to it. You will get one more frequently than it rains and it will save weight
Lies, I haven’t got one in my last 5 orders and maybe the mailman is stealing the others...

I've drug a hitch, never bent one. I'm just not sure exactly what hitch skids are for, they hang lower than the hitch. So you drag on the plate as not to scrape your hitch? I don't get it. I'm obviously missing something.
You must not do much rock. I have seen the chain loops worn off and receivers smashed useless. It is just what terrain you have for wheeling

I've bent chain loops but never wore anything off. I admit there are times I'll turn around and go fishing have a beer and avoid the real hairy technical stuff, or look for a easier work around. So yeah, your right.

I agree with you 100%. All it seems to do is avoid minor cosmetic scratching on the bottom corner of the hitch while further reducing the departure angle.

The GoRhino seems to hang out quite a bit and is made of thin steel that is far less tough than the hitch itself.

The Warfab Sheridan appears to be super beefy and tucked in tight. So it may help to protect the bumper but it does further reduce the departure angle.
