I'm actually looking for something to put into the trailer hitch that extends past the bumper slightly. I'd love to find an insert like the one in the pic above that fits into the trailer hitch. Might have something custom fabricated. Anyone have any suggestions. The spare tire was sort of a buffer against damage to the rear.

Is the best way to attach the TopCar cover with 3M tape?

I wound up buying a Topcar cover from a member here but will not be using it after all so if someone has or will be removing their spare tire send me a PM and I will make you a great deal!
