Hitch bumper guard

[MarineScott]

Needed a guard to prevent my trailer from coming in contact with my car bumper. This was made from scrap I had laying around.

Good idea . Save’s a lot of wear and tare

That works good, but if there is any way to extend the tongue of the trailer, it would give you a great Turing radius without hitting

A bit ugly but effective. I would round those corners and edges a bit for a more professional look. I always round the corners with approximately a 1" radius, it softens the impact when you accidentally come in contact with them.
Also when you slightly round the edges on plate, it makes the paint stay on better.

Rounded edges and corners are shin savers!

I should have taken my grinder and rounded all the edges on my TLB prior to touch up painting yesterday. Paint just would not stick to the sharp edges. I have never seen a manufacturer smooth the edges of material. I guess too much labor and materials to do that and no return on investment.
