I just have to accept the fact that this is what happens when you give nice things to people like Karl. Just look at your average trailer park, at one time all those trailers and cars were new and clean looking. Just wait until 12K lbs is applied to a hitch once rated (before hack job) for 5k lbs. This will be Klogger II in no time!
It was rated for 9k, and I increased the bolts by 50% :flipoff2:Quote:

Not that I know off.
Hmm, may have to get one made up. I bet those would sell like hotcakes if you could figure out a way to make it lockable!
dont some gooseneck hitches have this option?Quote:

yeah, i think he was saying this so that you didnt have to lay down and reach under the bumper to hook up the winch, you just pull a pin on the top of the bumper or something, that way you dont have to lay in the mud you got stuck in to hook up the winch, right ed?
Yep, if you are putting something like this on a $$$ towrig, I would like to do it right if possible. Especially if you could make a bolt together kit that you could sell (the rights to).
Yeah it wouldn't be too hard to fab up just do it likt the bw hitch pin
I got both of my bumpers - shipped for - less than that...Quote:

I don't know them as well as you do, but if I ever get enough scratch together I am going to deffinitely call them up. I will only need a front though as the rear is getting a CM flatbed (or CreightonFab) at the same time.Quote:

No, he was saying he bought a front and rear bumper and had them shipped for less than a Pirate vendor quoted Ed for just a front bumper.
So he paid less than $2317.56 in shipping? I guess it would be hard to argue that fact. :confused:Quote:
