It would be a shame to let the car go but even if you put in the work and the money you wouldn't likely get it back with the paint issues. What might that go for, $2k, $2500 in decent running condition? If that? Fix it up for a driver, keep it for a spare if you ever need it? --FT On

Get a welder and some metal working tools instead of a truck, build your own hitch. In the UK they are called a "tow bar", search on that and I'll bet you can find some pix or diagrams to inspire the mechanical engineer in you. Welder / tools / training will be less expensive than a truck by a

That's why they sell angle iron, cut off disks, drills and welders - find pictures or drawings of the Euro hitches, and duplicate one as close as you can. You might end up over or under engineered, but probably not so under that it's not safe, nor so over that it's too heavy. On Mon, Oct 31, 2016

Re: [MBZ] Welders, again

The practical result is that with MIG, you always end up with more metal than you started with. In some cases, I've been able to weld with ox-acetylene by just melting the two parts together - no filler needed. I expect that you could do that with TIG as well. You can't do that with MIG. On Mon,

Weight distribution would be a good thing to add, and maybe sway control. They say weight distribution is required when the trailer weighs more than half as much as the tow vehicle. https://www.etrailer.com/faq-weightdistribution.aspx

Look to Euro hitch makers for "real" class 3 hitches for your cars. Probably have to do the same for a brake controller. The problem is if you get in an accident insurance may refuse to pay. Its stupid of course but the price we pay to be protected from ourselves. FWIW I've been very happy

Jaime, The reason that I would like to have a Sanden or a Denso like on my wifes truck is because I have over the years in working on cars found that the seals on the R4 hose connections to be crappy at best. They tend to leak very easily and it doesn't take much to have them totally blow out.
