I went with "Towtector" brand as the brush system seems to do a really good job of slowing the rocks down so they do not bounce up, whereas the rubber flap style does deflect down, I didn't feel this would effectively stop the rocks from bouncing up as no much speed is scrubbed off on a deflection. The towtector brushes actually slow the rock down as they pass through, which I feel changes their trajectory.
The other nice thing about the towtector is that the brushes are doubled up and go completely across the rear of the vehicle.
to remove, all you need to do is remove your hitch bar, loosen one bolt, and off it slips. For storage, I believe the towtector comes with a wall mounted bar that you can put the towtector on (just like on your hitch), then use a pin through the hole to keep it there.
I love mine.... Quick and simple for me...
They are a touch more expensive than some of the others out there, but they do the job...and they do the job well!! It's worth it to protect your rig's paint job. It'll definitely show quickly if you do any traveling on gravel without it.
