From a Diaper to Training pants

One of the big complaints with the GX is the large diaper on the back. Horrible styling, cheap plastic, a real distraction. So I've upgraded to the NYTOP bumper cover which is made about as bullet proof as I've seen. Heavy gauge steel that attaches to the trailer ball receiver. This thing can take some major abuse. You should remove it before going off road as the bolts attach through the bottom - and if you are stuck at the wrong angle it would make recovery a challenge. (Thank you to our esteemed man of knowledge Mr. Bluegill)

There is a gap between the plate and the bumper (small) but from contacting NYTOP they explained that since the cover is now part of the tow receiver/frame and not the body - they build in the gap so that when the frame flexes it does not hit the rear bumper cover panel. These guys really know what they are doing. I am thinking of filling in the gap a little with some window foam stripping.

It's now more like training pants - but looks so much better aesthetically. If you want one - I've attached a link. Let me know what y'all think.

NYTOP rear cover
 
That does look better.

We tow the camper or horse trailer regularly, so the ball/ball mount live permanently in the receiver. I don't give much thought to what it looks like. Thankfully this is something I won't be spending more coin on. But I'm sure the next thing is right around the corner. :)
