Re: Who's done a hitch "mix-n-match"?

I got a UHAUL hitch from ebay $95 with shipping included.

I sanded it down and sprayed it with 2 cans (multiple coats) of Duplicolor bedliner spray because I hate rusty hitches.

I don't recall how much I paid for the Honda OEM wiring kit but I think it was around $80 on ebay.

I had a local garage install it for $80 cash.

Total cost INSTALLED $255 (not including $14 on bedliner paint).

They drilled and tapped into the bumper. to mount the oem mount.

They were not happy about breaking drill bits and taps on the bumper, but they did get the job done.

The only issue was they had to fabricate a 1/4" solid aluminum spacer to space the mount so the door on the plug cover would open all the way.
