Heres my idea.... i dont have much money, but my father said he'd cover the cost of the hitch. i want to make my jeep stand out a little bit more without doing anything ridiculous or expensive. so i want to make the exterior look a little bit more rugged. by matching the trailer hitch with the mudflaps... will it work?

1. Molded mudflaps -->
Q. a) i was wondering if i could sand/prime and then spray with bedliner?
b) where can i buy bedliner????

2.Hitch. I need a hitch on this witch ASAP.
Q. a) where do i get this?
b) whats the difference between the mopar and the class 3 from Uhaul?
c) how much should it cost to buy/put on?
d)

3. Tint. I want a pretty subtle yet effective tint for my liberty especially since i'm going to be in brooklyn soon

I bought my hitch, a Curt, from eBay. It was super easy to put on. Took about 30 mins. Almost any one can do it. Don't pay to have some one put it on. You should be able to sand and paint the mud flaps. Just remember that they will flex and possible crack the paint if you hit something with them, like snow lol. the bed liner will be better as it should flex with the flaps just a bit more. You should be able to buy the bed liner at any automotive store. I just had my Libby tinted. I went with 20% rears and 35 on the front doors and brow. Looks great, not too dark. There is a pic of it in the post pics of ypur jeep section.

I too have the curt, but be warned it does stick out a little bit and you will lose some departure angle.

I'm still happy with it though. I got the hitch and wiring harness for $175 on ebay.

I put in the Curt a month ago. Honestly, if you like your knees and shins, buy the Mopar for the xtra money. It may be a bit more, but you will save your sanity and physical damage to yourself. The Mopar is flush with the bumper.

I regret not buying the Mopar.

Love my Mopar hitch, but I would suggest saving your money on the Mopar trailer wiring (just get a 4-pin connector, if anything at all). It does look really clean and fits snugly into the frame.
