being cheap is time consuming..
« on: October 01, 2009, 05:28:34 AM »
got a great deal on a class 3 hitch from a dodge caravan today.  Free.  it measured wide enough to fit the frame rails of my jimmy. but hung too low, and when bolted up actually kept the shackles from fully seating.  so what to do what to do?  decided to hit it with the sawzall, invert the side rails so they're not hitting the shackles anymore, and pushed the hitch up and in.  i ran out of ambition to finish it tonight, but when i have time i'll post up the rest of the pics.

starting point where hitch hung out...



cut out the hitch



funny the box didn't say anything about some assembly required,,,,



how it's tucked under now..



 i'll finish putting the bumper on tomorrow and show how the final project came out..it's actually going to be a little stronger then factory  8), SWEET!
