I just did the "sewer hose" modification. I used a 4.75" ABS fence post cut to the same size as the bumper. I painted it black and attached it to the bottom side of the bumper. I didn't want to drill holes in the bumper to use the plumber strapping so I attached it using 6 heavy duty zip ties. I did drill a number of holes in the bottom side of the fence post. Am headed to AZ from NC a week from today. We'll see how the thing holds up.
Basically, this is what DH did (left it white to match our bumper, though), and traveling home from vacation last month, took a driveway steeper than he thought, and ripped the bumper loose from the 5er because the stinky slinky holder hung down further than the driveway allowed!! NOT a pretty sight, and now in the shop to repair, along with repairs from three blowouts in a 24 hour period.
Just watch out for those steep driveways!!
