lol, thanks, I made it myself... ended up welding the bumper straight to the body of the car top and bottom and adding some support brackets on the bottom. Pulling much of anything will be like an amish buggy pulling a semi, but it'll get the job done! Just gotta try to avoid steep hills at slow speeds haha..

The only thing I'm really concerned about is wether that harbor freight special hitch will cut it with the LEO's. I don't know if I need to weld some padeyes to the frame/unibody, or if that will suffice?

It's rated at 350lb tongue weight 3500lb pull, and me and a buddy of mine that weighs in around 230lbs were jumping on it today...that thing isn't going anywhere.

close... I only have a 16 foot tandem axel car hauler...but yea.. I'll be dragging home a 87 f150 hopefully this weekend??

Also thinking about getting ahold of a 5x8 utility trailer, I'm getting ready to trade my other 97 ford aspire for 500$+a quad for my kids, so I'll need an appropriate size trailer for that.

I got the trailer light wiring harness hooked up today, it's all stealth hidden inside the spare tire well and I can pull it out anytime.

Lol...have you ever pulled a trailer? I have. That guy needed trailer brakes, or to adjust his. Probably even hit the wrong petal when things got squirley.

brakes wouldnt have helped that guy. cant really tell but im guessing homemade trailer with axles too far up. if you dont have enough weight on the tongue it can cause bad shit to happen.

and also am i reading it right that you are going to try pulling a 16ft car hauler with a full size truck on it with a ford aspire? you got a v8 under the hood or are you gonna get out and push it down the road?
