Just saw this. How do you like the trail bumper cover? And where did you get those mud flaps?I replaced my 6500 lbs with the integrated 5000 lbs for higher clearance. Also trying to gain more clearance for spare tire. It does not seem to improve spare tire clearance. Still could not fit 255/80R18. I am still short about 1"
I like the trail bumper cover. It hides the frame and fairly easy to install. I bought mine off eBay. It's a replica cover. Cost about $56 shipped. I also bought the blue clips from China. I think I paid about $3 for 15 pcs.
As for the mudflap its home made. Bought 24X30" truck mudflap for $20 from Pilot truck stop.
I also bought 4 pcs of angle bracket to mount the front mudflap to frame.
1/8X0.065X36" aluminum strip are bent and drilled to be the rear mudflap mount.
Did u sell this hitch? I am in Ohio and am interested?
Still have it. I am in north west of Columbus.
Still have the big 6500lbs hitch. I replace mine with the smaller 5000 lbs one. What do you mean by integrated one?

I mean, you tell me LOL
It sounds like the 5000 lb "integrated" one is slimmer profile. How much bigger was the 6500 lb one? Does it seem way heavier? And are they both OEM?
Thanks all for the good info. Anyone near Portland OR have an OEM hitch (5000# or 6500#) they are interested in selling?
That is the smaller 5000 lbs one. P/N 51209-35230
The bigger one hang down a bit lower. Pictured below
I am going back to Ohio in a couple of weeks. How much are you asking for your old 6k lbs one?
How about $40?
Anybody have one in Montana?
Sorry, been on the road traveling for work lately. Sounds fair, sure.
How rusty is it--can you PM me a couple pictures?
I have a Draw Tie hitch thats on my GX that I have no plans on keeping so make me an offer if you’re interested!
Its OEM. I don't think aftermarket got the center support. OEM tie in 3 different point. Left right frame rail and in the middle to the cross member.
Its not rusty at all. Truck came from Texas and then 3 years in Nashville TN. Removed as soon as it got to Ohio.
Just want it out of my garage.

@CO_Hunter @Jstawgn Do either of you or anyone else have an OEM 5000lb rated hitch receiver? Need one for my 04 GX470.
