Pros & Cons
Pros
Thing is just plain badass! It fit well in the receiver and has an exceptional black powder coating. It fits snugly in my receiver and is solid metal so i'd feel confident recovering with it.
Cons
One received is extremely rough and missing paint. Paint job is lumpy and not 'curve cut' as depicted. Powder coat was scuffed and chipped in one spot.
Buyer beware. More like from harbor freight and not worth $39. Never buying smittybuilt again. It is pointless to buy this item online.
There is a good 1/8 gap between this insert and the receiver body, which makes for a bunch of slop. I am used to my reese ball bracket fitting much more snug. The shackle hits the bumper before the holes line up.
It fits fairley loosely in my 2 receiver. I not not expect it to 'fit like a glove' but this is not even close. I have bike racks, step hitches and trailer hitch attachments and none of them fit as poorly as this.
Highlights
Quality
Very solidly built and fits well in receiver
Feels robust and even the powder coating feels thick and durable.
I bought this for my jeep and have used it as a tow point, but leave it in all the time.
Need a pin, it doesn't come with one!
Price
I am confident in its ability to 'do the job', worth the $$ for peace of mind & reliability.
Bang for you buck-better than putting a hitch cover on.
Which i suppose is not a major issue since i already had a few and they're not terribly expensive.
Packaging/appearance
Fits my jeep wrangler unlimited jk's factory tow package perfectly.
Arrived clean & without blemish in its own box.
Competitiveness
The d-ring is exactly the same as the 3/4 inch ones smittybilt sells, which i've had good luck with.
