getting a hitch, will exhaust tips be a problem?
i was thinking about adding a hitch on the back of my 4runner since it didnt come with one when i had bought it. my dad told me though because of my exhaust it might be in the way of installing it. does anybody know if this will cause a problem with putting the hitch on?

Without being able to see where the exhaust is in reference to your frame rails, and judging by that pic, I would say that any "Hidden Hitch" or the like probably will interfere with your exhaust routing.
You might have to hang your exhaust lower, or reroute it.

I have a factory hitch that I don't use any more. Do you want it? When you but one make sure it has the receiver in the middle of the tube, not under like mine. When it is under , you will lose about 3" of ground clearance and departure angle. I used to drag mine all of the time.
