Got a hitch receiver. Looked at videos. 4 bolts.. simple.
Well when I went to install it, there is a bracket attached to the two outer holes to mount the hitch. That bracket attaches to the bumper (stock plastic).
Brings me to two issues. One is I can't get rid of the bracket it appears without removing the bumper. It is located above the lip of the bumper. And two, since it attaches to the bumper it is part of how the bumper is mounted to the frame. So I am leary of disconnecting this mounting.
Here is one side of the bracket in the attached image.
Any suggestions?
