I got it from Amazon..maybe not the best price but I had a store credit so I figured why not.

I also got a hitch lock because if I didn't lock it up on there someone might think that it's gear adrift lol

I was looking at the claymore and it didn't say what size receiver it would fit. I have the class II. Does it look like it would it would fit the class II? Maybe I could do some work on it to make it fit?

You suck Joel you werent suppose to post again!
Lets just say a Buck ran in front of me last night and I didnt see it until it was too late. In fact the only reason I knew it was a deer was because I saw the antlers above the hood as I was hitting it at about 40mph. Damn things are tough not only did I hit it but also ran over it and it was no where to be found and we searched for a good 30 minutes. Bumper is toast, grille is completely gone, hood is dented, lights are all broken, driver side inner fender is hanging, and worst of all the core support is damaged. Looks like I might be looking for a new car. Keep you guys updated when I find out more info.
Man, I'm really sorry. Glad nobody got hurt. You're Ex was one of my favorite 3rd Gens. Son of a *****!!! Hopefully you can get it up and running again.

It won't fit a class II for sure. Modification might be possible though.
I had a class II from the factory but I found a class III for cheap at the junkyard and swapped it out...did it so I'd have a stronger recovery point in the back for offroading....seems like a lot of the cool hitch covers out there only fit that size too so that's also a good reason to switch
