any interest in a writeup?

So i was rear ended and my mint condition explorer, now has a fugly rear end.
I already ordered my hitch before the accident so im still putting it on, so does anyone have an interest in seeing a writeup(w/pics) on a: rear bumper removal and install of a class III/IV hidden hitch?

it'll be on a 03 sport 4x4

I'm sure a write up would be appreciated by many, if you do one:thumbsup:
 






PICS of work in progress...well decided not to do a writeup, considering that the bumper was shoved all they way down, a writeup wasnt really possible. So here are some pics of the work in progress.

the bumper got owned, and if u look close the frame rails are still bent a little, but in the pic i had already hammered the frame into its normal position.
 






ok so heres the hitch installed, i had to modify the hitch because UPS bent the side rail in but after that and pushing the frame in more, it fit like a glove.

Now, tha last thing it needs is a new bumper and brackets welded in. So updates will come.
