Appreciate the offer guys, rather then trying to figure one out I just bought a class 3.
Time is tight and just wanted to move to the next thing.

I was actually looking for a draw tite,
Ugh, should I cancel and try to ship one of these? On my dime of course.
Well crap, it will be delivered tomorrow must be out of the az warehouse.
Thought I would post this, here is the trip in 2 and a half weeks.
Sorry, I was a bit slow on that. If you do stop it I can meet you and hand it off.
If he doesn't, I might have interest. But it will be a good while before I can pick it up.
Yeah, the plastic wears out on me too. I put a piano hinge on this, and then did a little piece of wire on one or both ends. This was a million years ago when CD changers were still a thing (now of course we just use a USB thumb drive.)
I think eventually I redid it with aircraft cable from the Ace.

I like that idea, I will have to come up with something like that.
Unless 'ganoosh wants it, it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Right now it's holding down my patio.
I'll pass, thanks though. Receiver fits good. One small thing I don't like is the rear cross member runs right into the 3rd bolt on each side. How much will this effect it?
Sorry for the mess, haven't cleaned up and have some stuff everywhere.

Yes only 2 per side, I 3rd hits the rivet on the rear cross member.
It started raining and I went inside, I don't want to get dirt in the diff, tcase or back of the trans.
It isn't but I want to use this as a recover point with a shackle on the receiver.
Yes it is open, I think I might be able to move it back but it hits the exhaust.
What about removing the rivet and drill the hole out for at least a 7/16 bolt.
That is the plan, I'll take a better look at it tomorrow.
I don't know if I'm doing this right but . . .
Tensile of a grade 8 bolt is at least 120,000 lbs/in squared.
X4 =480,000 lbs/in squared
Shear is 60% = 288,000 lbs/in squared
3/8 bolts = 108,000 lbs.
I still think you are good. But I've had a couple of Modelo's so . . .
