The willwood system is great but expensive and I think more involved of an install plus it's pretty much always visible as is the bird rack system.

In addition the options that are out there are too expensive for me plus I like to weld and tinker. Ease of use is what I was looking for and I think this works. I've got ten coming in early July from a professional fabricator and plan to sell each with the folding license plate and all hardware for $150. It's still the cheapest out there and I think leaves no trace of a hitch when not in use. I won't get rich, just will offset my cost of development and maybe get a 220v welder for my other projects.

Website and product should be available in late August. (I'm moving in July so won't have too much time to complete.)

I like all the feedback, it was very helpful!!
