Since we have snow and below freezing temps its offically time to start my AX trailer project. This is a picture of Robert Murphy's setup I really like. If anyone knows Robert could you please have him email me at gjshaffer2002 AT yahoo.com I have just a few questions for him. Last I know Robert was in the Tulsa area.

This will all hide behind the bumper and will be covered by my plate so you will never know it is there.

That looks so sweet Garold!

Did you do most of the fab work or did Brad give you a hand with that? How did you cut the bumper so the hitch and the long hex nuts would fit like they do?

Brad & Michael did the bumper cutting and (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) I wish I could take credit for any of this but I can't. Not even my idea for a trailer hitch, seen a picture of Robert Murphy's setup and liked it. Look HERE for that thread.
