She's hitched up and ready to roll!! Amazin' how the extra weight smoothes out the ride.
Needed to air up the rear tires a bit ('bout 160 psi).



Added some super heavy-duty chain for extra support on the tailgate, (note the 'Heavy-Duty 'S' hooks to attach the chain) Also paid-up for some BIG Number 5/16 sheet metal screws to attach the Reese hitch frame to the tailgate (see 'em there? one on each side...) Likely two more through the carpet into the floor pan inside.....
Yep, probably overkill, but didn't want the possibility of having an axerdent.



Most of the time was spent on the front porch whittling down that MASSIVE solid pine 4x4 to fit precisely down into the hole in the ball mount receiver. Note also - The 14” x 14” piece of 3/8' plywood on the underside of the tailgate to distribute the load more evenly and beef up that tailgate support.

'A MAN CAN'T BE TOO SAFE'...!!

Johnny, I don't care if the hitch post IS a repost! I'd not seen it before and it's funny as hell. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I've never seen that either.....

 

Did you guys click on the link in post #7? When I saw the Blazer and TT it reminded me of that one.

 

Yes, I did. I wonder if it was staged though, since it was an ad.

However, I agree it was funny too.

I just liked the wording that accompanied the pictures in your original post. (I'm still laughing over it)!
