The hitch is in place. Now to re-attach the bumper.


bumper 1

The bumpers are cut with a metal blade sabre saw to make the square hole needed for the receiver portion of the hitch.


This project took an afternoon to do. Removing the rusty bolts from the bumper was a bit of a hassle, as was cutting the square hole. But having the right tools is, as always, the key to any successful job.
