    Hitch mounted one seems like a bad idea for your situation, then the license plate would be flipped up all the time. Adding a tire gate to a bumper that wasn't designed for it seems sketchy - exhibit A, Boyd's (I believe his was added on to the bumper).

    Where's the option for "stop whining and just leave it in the stock location except when wheeling"?

    I've seen the CBI Bumper on a local Taco (not a member) and its nice, beefy. Perhaps you could pick it up while you're out here this summer. Unless you need it BEFORE the trip....
