Decided today that i wanted to install my hitch. I pulled my back bumper off and pulled out the passengers side nutstrip. I realize that i will need to fabricate one myself. I see a few things that concern me though.
First, The factory nutstrip is not flat. It goes up in one area to make room for some type of imprint in the frame. That seems it would be an issue if i wanted mine to go that far back into the frame
Second, only 2 of the 5 nuts on the factory nutstrip are able to have a bolt threaded through them. The others are pretty rusty. I considered running a tap thru but heard its pointless.
Has anyone encountered these issues and what have you dont about them?
Aside from going and getting ripped off at the dealership
