Look close and take in all of the components before captioning.


BTW, I hope this isn't one our brethren from Arizona.

Perfectly safe. They double nutted the attachment bolt.

Any trailer hitched to that hot ghetto mess is gonna fishtail from the two pivot points.

Wow, no way it's not going to pivot on that single mounting bolt. Should make for an interesting tow when it starts shifting back and forth during turns or under braking.

There are 210 named mountain ranges in Arizona. I cringe at the tought of towing something on a mountain road.

Must be one helluva deep socket to tighten those bolts!

The pic was posted in a Canadian offroad forum and a lot of Canadians winter in Arizona. Might've found a Canadian redneck running loose in the USA.

I think outside the box at work AND at home.



Let me help you out. Which way did you come in?

I hope his/her insurance is paid up. I can see nothing but bad things going down the road any kind of load. Glad I'm on the east coast and nowhere near AZ. Chris

Hope that's a Grade 8 bolt and nut

I'd hate to high-center that bolt with a trailer attached. Eek


(I just started laughing when I saw that picture. That's frightening!!)
