Nope, put a hole in the bulk head for my current build.

Before that I did one that bolted into the bulkhead and came out under the bumper, had a bar that went back t the exhaust hanger on the trans. Don't think I have pictures of it.

Pretty easy you can thread a 1/4" steel behind there, I did not run a rear valance with this setup. Towed great, with my tire trailer.



Did that previous set up work well? How heavy a trailer did you tow with it?

Worked very well, towed all over Ohio with it going to auto-x.

Maybe 400 pounds with trailer, tools, jack, tires and wheels, and beverages. Towed like it was not there, the key is taking the load back to a point that can handle it.

Tongue weight was next to nothing babe 75 pounds. I also ran all LED lights, and you will need a light combiner. I just flipped the 4 pole out of the trunk, and closed the lid on them, never had an issue. Get to the paddock, drop the trailer switch wheels, and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

BTW, the tool storage bin, doubled as a cooler for the local cruise in. Fill it with ice and drinks, and your set (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
