My new hitch (with pix)
It takes a true, devoted Yotatecher to post pictures of a newly installed tow hitch. 
Here they are. Somehow it doesn't look too goofy with the gap, and my aux backup lights go through just perfect. Woo hoo.
Time for some towing !

The small mud flaps look goofy...the hitch looks fine.
J/K...I haven't forgotten about you. Just too busy lately.
I will be in PA until New Years. I will try to do some work on my truck in Jan. I want to wheel!

Bought it from U-Haul for $130. its a Class III hitch.
I installed it myself, took a little ingenuity to get the bolts in and threaded with the boxed frame rails, but otherwise was pretty straight forward. I had to thread wire through the holes and out the frame, then attach the bolts to the wire, and fish it back through the frame and down into the hole... 4 of them took about an hour. :/
If you've got the money and no patience, Id go and get it done for an extra $50.
The taco hitches are different, so it might be less money. U-Haul was the cheapest place. Others said to check the junkyard but I didn't have time.
