We've recently spoken about the front bumper tuck, well here are photos of what the PO did to my rear bumper to mount a portable generator to it.

Not sure if I am going to keep it this way (It drags sometimes on hills) and mount a plate for "stuff" or return it to normal and put a fiberglass cap over it.

Chris, you can put it back to original and use a thru the bumper hitch. On that hitch, you can put a carrier on it when you want to carry something back there. You will have problems getting into my driveway with that hanging from the rear. Maybe we can put that on our "to do" list for next winter.

Yeah, that is the dilemma. I want a thru-bumper hitch, and that extended mess doesn't exactly play nice in that sandbox, eh?

Chris,

From the picture of the damage around the right tail light it looks like the
extended bumper didn't help! ;-)
