Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic. I didn't get home until after dark and my wife has the camera in her car....which of course means she's not home when I need it. Anyway, all I did cut the skid all the way across right where it starts to curve upward at the rear. This means the vary back of your gas tank is exposed, but I figure with a hitch there, the chances of it taking a really bad hit are slim.

Good deal. it amazes me how many people just give up on something just because they don't think about modifying it.
