Props for even taking it on. I got lucky and found one I could buy and dye. Because I'm not ambitious enough to build it myself.

i made some towing mudflaps from some tractor trailer flaps i got for 10$ each, cut them to size, added and angle iron to the backside of the rear bumper and have them attached with 3 clevice pins. Easy to remove and didn't have to drill any holes. No more rock flying on the front of my RV or anything i tow on the car hauler. I have about 30$ in it and around 25 minutes.

Another cheap mod (<$5) is to put the actuator on the tailgate to lock/unlock the tailgate with the key fob. The part on eBay is only about $5, shipped.
