Ah cool. Thanks for the links. Sorry I missed your link in your earlier post.

Let's see some pictures!

Wow! Guess its not as strong as we thought... did you go for a refund or exchange?

Nice looking trailer!

I've bought two sets of these lights (ended up giving one set away to a friend), and both sets were just fine out of the box. No issues whatsoever. All lighting worked, and the magnets were great. Also, if you sign up for Harbor Freight's mailer, these lights go on sale for $9.99...

Looks like you got lucky and have a better setup now! Congrats on the new trailer. They aren't too heavy so they tend to pull pretty well.

I'd be a little cautious on that one. It weighs 13 lbs, seems the shank is not solid. It's hollowed out for the cushioning device. The model that Northern Tool sells features a solid shank, and overall weight is 24 lbs. I'm definitely no expert on this stuff, just an observation.

I think the angle they took their picture from and the angle I took mine from, it does look a little different with respect to the angled support piece. However, the rise (or lower) looks to be the same, 7 pairs of holes. They also could have beefed it up since that picture on their website...

Well I pay taxes for the roads, so they can fix them if I gouge them up. ;-) Good to know though about why they are crossed. I guess you want to make sure that when the chains are stretched that the "X" will be under the tongue, and a far enough behind so as to actually catch it. On the...

There's room for them to cross. Question though, why should they be crossed? I've read safety chains should be crossed, just never heard why they should be crossed.

Here's a few pics of my setup for my M101A3. I have the high rise adapter from Northern Tool (which is a solid shank). I don't remember what pintle I bought, but I think it was the 8-ton version. Also, since the high rise adapter sticks out further from the hitch, the safety chains no longer...

I don't know for sure, but I'm 95% sure they are solid rubber. The original runflats on the original HMMWV 8 bolt wheels were magnesium, but as far as I know the runflats used with the 12 bolt wheels were rubber. The proper way to remove the runflat is to use a runflat compressor, basically a...

Looks fun, but I'll be gone. :( Moving to northern California for 5 months, then off to North Dakota after that.

Just when I thought you were done, more cool mods! Box looks great. Gonna put a lock on it or anything?

:beer: Looks great!!
