I did 't want this to get lost in my aspire swap thread. I feel it deserves it's own thread. Jack (of festar and fessup fame) made an in bumper trailer hitch for me. He is the man.

Very nice. I'm assuming the pic of the nut is there to show the added washer.Ian

Good stuff, Neanderpaul! Can I see pics of a trailer hooked up? What class hitch is that, Class 1? Also, the Curt hitches have a support on the body. Have you found any unusual springiness in the bumper while towing without that added support? Thanks! :-DIn love with a MadScientist!:thumbright:

I'm picking it up in 2 weeks. So it hasn't been tested yet. I will try hooking it up to something before I head to Dallas. I don't know what class it is. I will check."Lane, I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy."
