Reply to "Inexpensive Front Receiver"

Bruce, Don,

It's a well-made part and installed easily, but ran into a little hitch... sorry. The plastic fascia on the underside of my bumper molds too close to the receiver to get a hitch pin in, see pics. I've been meaning to re-tackle this problem as I could have used it last weekend while backing the TT into another tight spot. I'm either going to cut a slot in the plastic or design and machine a custom split-pin on a kind of wishbone arrangement that will fit within the tight dimensions. I talked to Jeff at Mohr about this, and he was surprised that I couldn't fit the pin in there, offered to take it back but I think I can make it work; this problem may be peculiar to the 2007 F-150 bumper design.

Hmmm... attachment uploads don't seem to want to work this morning.
