Tue Jan 12, 2016 1:42 pm

I have this bumper

http://www.rockymountainwesty.com/Vanagon_Twin_Peaks_Front_Bumper_p/rmw-tp01.htm

And I was thinking of installing the GW front receiver hitch ($80)

Has anyone done this? The GW receiver looks like it would mount up just fine on the RMW bumper, but I'm not certain.

The other option is this ($200) from RMW

But given the cost, I'd rather do the cheaper GW option

2. Does anyone know if there is a strength difference between the two? I don't plan on running a winch or anything (just want to mount a hi-lift jack), but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have the option..

Shizzon,

Were you ever able to find the answer to this question?

Shizzon are you able to post up a closer pic of that strap on your fiamma? I looked all aisles at Ace and HD last week for something just like that with no luck. Any idea on a maker and where you purchased?

Mine rattles a little and I am looking for two in black. I saw some on a Sprinters Fiamma here in Gig Harbor and meant to take a closer look but did not and missed my opportunity.

Thank you.

It's a ski strap (for holding skis together), ha! ;)

Something like this - https://www.backcountry.com/voile-ski-straps-9-through-24-inches-vol0083

There are apparently a lot of uses for ski straps, kinda like duct tape
