    i think you'll like them.

    PM scott (brutalguyracing). he's from new york and runs them, so i'm sure he's got plenty of input on them in regards to snow driving.

    got my shipment from ruff stuff today. now i can reinforce the hitch on the bumper and call it done (for now). these 4 gussets are only a part of what's going into reinforcing it. got these gussets speciffically because the large hole is big enough (and strong enough) to be used as the anchor point for the safety chains for the trailers i tow.

    Finally found the time to reinforce the hitch on my rear bumper.
    Used 4 Gussets from Ruff Stuff Specialties, and made the rest of the bracing myself. The big hole in the Ruff Stuff gussets function as the anchors for the safety chains as well.

    Some pictures throughout the process...
