This has been a tough summer to keep anything clean around here.
I still have a lot to do in the cleaning department. hard water spots on the glass is probably the thing that bugs me the most right now.

Are you worried that the box for the license plate will weaken the trailer hitch? Otherwise it looks good.

Mine is made out of 6 inch channel iron and is telephone pole stiff. I know from experience of backing into one. Nothing bent. Just a sudden stop.

I don't think there will be any problem . The back of the box is welded to both top and bottom and is 3/16" plud the angles add a little striength.

Besides I really don't tow anything heavy.
