Stupid question of the day, 300/600/700 (3 Viewers)

Stolen from the 200 section…..fire away any odd questions about your LX here, all in one place for ease of use.

I’ll start.

Anyone have a clean solution for the rear hitch area to dress it up when we have something in there?

Hmm it would be interesting to cut and trim a cover as you could slide it over that shank (without the Dshackle).

Seen a few on the 200 forums trim the cover as @Joe T suggested.

Don't know why I put this off for so long, but I finally got around to mine. 20 minutes with an oscillating multi tool and using some edge trim I had lying around from my hidden winch install and this is what I came up with. It should be wide enough to place/pull the hitch pin, otherwise I'll make it a little wider. Now just waiting on the hitch plug from my dealer. Never would have had the inspiration if it wasn't for this thread.

Hey guys,

Does anyone have a source for one of these?

It seems like a great solution to make the hitch usable all the time without fooling around with the OEM cover. With that cover off, it looks like crap.

These look like they'd be a great compromise, but the only sources I have seen for them is shipped from China on Ebay and Aliexpress for well over $100.

Thanks.

I actually have a couple of posts in those old threads too and I couldn’t find them (for the quick time that I was looking,) so thank you for posting that.

I've thought about this as well. I've seen the hitch cover cutouts for the 570s like posted above, but have yet to see one for the 600/700. I was looking at my hitch cover, and if you look on the inside, there is a ridge around where the hitch would go. It's almost like it's made to be a cut out. I've thought about buying a second one and just cutting out the middle with a Dremmel and sanding the edges, but not sure I'm ready to throw away $200 if it doesn't come out right.
