Rosser Jeep. I'm sure that the price has gone up some in the 3 years
since, but I wouldn't think by that much. It was between $160-170 at
the time.

Oh, by the way, if you don't like the price of the Olympic bumper (
currently $210 on quadratec) here is another alternative. The hitch
does hang lower than the olympic unit but still better than buying the
separate hitch:

I wanted to go with the bumper/hitch combo but I needed to tow something
like
tomorrow so I ran up to Barry's Trailer in Sarasota & was given a price of
138.00
for a class III (because they were out of stock of the class II) Draw-Tight.
so I walked
outa there 1/2 hour later with the hitch wired in, a tongue & a 2 in. ball
for 190 & change.
I towed a friends heavy duty trailer up I 75 about 100 miles & back & didn't
know the
thing was even back there. I plan on stopping at Wal-Mart & picking up
another tongue
& a 1 7/8s ball & I'll be set for anything.
