BTW............ I know there's fabricators here I guess.
A little tip on tongues.
You can get better jackknife performance by designing your tongue with a better angle. The weld-on couplers are 60* IIRC..........they don't work well IMHO. I can get a better angle by making a channel that utilizes an adjustable Bulldog coupler. This has saved my butt in tight situations.
Far as hitches go. I'm totally the opposite in the way I think about hitches, as opposed to some of the DIY bumpers I see out there on the road. I blow a gasket when I see someone with a front bumper that weighs more than the truck.
You can't go wrong with a heavy built hitch. The pin-on design is so I can swap out to an eye style attachment for hauling a fertilizer spreader. Anyways.......use your steel where it's necessary. Overbuilding/underbuilding is a deadly sin. LOL
I had an online dispute concerning the safety of a swiveling tie down ratchet I made for my Great Dane float. ROFLMAO
I practice what I preach. The weight is in the usable USABLE part of the bumper. Not stylish, but what I need for a truck that sees the service it sees. Relatively light tubing (3/16 wall), but attention paid to mounting detail on the D rings (same as the hitch in prior pic...mounting D rings to a pad instead of directly to the tubing).
I don't believe I won/lost the dispute. Typical internet pizzing match. :D

Today's Featured Article - The Perfect Restoration - by Chris Pratt. Often, in quiet moments, I have wandered back in my thouhts to the many tractors I have seen over the years and wondered which one inspired me the most. Sure, we have a fond attachment to one brand and model or another, sometimes it was remembering that first time we got to climb up in the drivers seat and command that roaring beast, or maybe because when you see that special model, you can't help but see Dad on it, he's gone, but everytime you see a tractor like his, it's a like part of him i
