Installing Passport OEM Hitch with the Silver Kick Plate - No Bumper Cover Removal Required!

[@skangobango]

I use a multi tool to cut all my plastics. It doesn’t produce quite as much burring/melting of the plastic as a cut off wheel.

[@GotterAdventure]

Interesting. I will have to check that out. Thankfully this plastic was pretty soft.

[@benrupp04]

I think you did just fine on the cut of the stock lower valence.

[@GotterAdventure]

Thanks, I think it turned out well too. It definitely doesn't stand out when looking at the vehicle.

Just my new PASSPORT! yea!! now to follow your lead -- any idea how to carry a jerry can of gas inside the cargo area for the lawnmower?

[@GotterAdventure]

I would keep gas on the outside of the vehicle. A hitch basket could work well. I am going to have a spare tire swing at some point.

Great job. Honda dealerships quoted me $1700 to install the OEM hitch and wiring 🤮

[@GotterAdventure]

Yeah, I'm not doing that! I also like that I got to keep the silver kick plate!

Hey Arron , what’s the part number to the oem hitch cover or are you selling the one you have , if you’re not going to use it?

[@GotterAdventure]
