NOT EASY TO INSTALL!: Exterior accessories

THREE ATTACHMENTS HOW DIFFICULT WILL IT BE? The bolt and load balancer (silver parts pictured) are welded together, so an installation that should have taken 20 minutes took over an hour. The other hooks I made, the bolt and brace, were two separate pieces, making it much easier to "catch" the hardware through the frame, although other cars had stiffer frames to deal with had to. The instructions even show them as two separate parts. Because the two pieces are welded together, they're also cumbersome and almost too heavy for a fishing wire to fit through the holes in the frame. I had to use needle nose pliers with a curved tip to grab the screws and set them in place. If you pull the fishing wire out of the studs and throw it into the frame it's pretty much game over as the frame is basically a tube with a few bends and there's no easy way to get them out. If you do decide to buy this kit, I recommend grinding or drilling some holes on the hitch to give you a little more wiggle room to thread the bolt and fishing wire through. The hitch is heavy and appears to be well built with a nice powder coat finish. The hardware needs improvement.
