I say any good weather Saturday night at Home Depot in Kemah(Fall weather soon!) is a good stop between 5:30-9pm usually a big turnout of cars and 1-3 MV's show already. Get enough cuc's and dueces to the show people would love it. Come and go as you please + its surrounded by the restraunts and...

Switched pintle mounts to the 1008 donor piece I had. Generic receiver welded(peanut butter welds by freinds coworker - not me!) on. I hit it w black paint before I threw it together. Now able to haul the bike rack to BMX track/trails leave rear window/gate alone.
It was a pita getting...
Ill clarify, I re-read what I wrote.. im not eliminating the pintle. Im replacing my bent pintle support w/ a non-bent pintle support(donor 1008 piece)that has a reciever welded directly under the pintle. Gotta swap over the 1009 swivel to replace the 'fixed' 1008 ball/pintle 1st

I saw the impala build back in the day. Pretty sweet. Wonder how its been driven/held up. Guys have been running big hp gassers in our trucks 30yrs I dont see why a 6Bt or dmax would be disasterous for the frame if some boxing is done...this guy wanted perfection and long term reliability so he...
