TRX4m Defender high clearance rear bumper V2

This is a rear bumper for the TRX4m Defender. It should be a direct replacement for the stock bumper, but have a lot more clearance, which should increase the departure angle by ~5 degrees. It has two mounts for tow shackles, and I also have included a file for a trailer hitch as used for the stock TRX4m trailer.

NOTE: There should be three files. There is one each for the bumper and hitch individually, and one with both in one file. It should be a pretty quick print.

This bumper WILL NOT work with the Bronco or any of the standard High Trail trucks.

UPDATE POST-PRINT: I printed this at 40% infill with regular supports, and it printed with no issues. I am holding the hitch on with a 1.6x10mm self-tapping screw. It is slightly loose, so I will be releasing a V2 soon that addresses that issue.

UPDATE 2 POST-PRINT:

I have updated both the bumper and the hitch based on some initial issues I found. All the available files are the V2 of this design.

If you print this, please post a make or drop a comment! Your feedback helps me make my models better. As always, if you have an issues or want any changes made, please feel free to reach out to me.
