John,

I just bought a Dennis Haynes hitch and will be installling it the firt sof the week on my 88 GL, which has the fiberglas bumpers. I will take pictures and send to you.

If you get a Haynes hitch I have one suggestion. Paint it yourself. Dennis does a good job, and the hitch comes with a good paint job. However, for my purposes - and I didn't think of it until after it was shipped - I would like to have had it primed and painted with an epoxy paint for rust protection and preservation. Dennis said he would be glad to ship a hithc unpainted at your request.

Regards,

John Rodgers 88 GL driver
