    Weight Bracket

    Well incase some are interested here is a pic and description of my weight bracket. Its just one of the many ways to make one. I built it out of 3x3" tube with a 1/4" wall. Overkill? yes. Heavy? you bet. But its out front so if I cant hang weights, ive still got 100lbs hanging out there...

    Hey BTPA Guys, hitch question

    Im thinking of just building one for now. How does this design sound. Two pieces of angle iron bolt up to the stock holes. Then 2.5" ID square tube is welded to the angle iron running perpendicular to the frame rails. So One in the rear under the tailgate and one up front. These two pieces...

    Hey BTPA Guys, hitch question

    thanks dmaxlover, I was going off of the 09 rules. josh I was going to have one of my sponsors build me a hitch but im not sure if I will or not. juddski: The rules state it must be at or below the centerline, so wouldnt that not provide an advantage if Im thinking right? im no physics expert...

    Hey BTPA Guys, hitch question

    No not the hitch. The Actual reciever that the pulling hitch slides into. My Pulling hitch is being made at work out of solid stock. Funny thing is that its some of the smallest metal they deal with around there.

    Hey BTPA Guys, hitch question

    and to add to that the other hitches i found wither wont work for the shortbed or require the factory bumper. Now I know why all of you guys run Reese.

    Hey BTPA Guys, hitch question

    you know what, I just found a decent price on them. Is $286 good or are there cheaper places. I started offf this search with a quote of $450 from a local place so I feel im doing good so far. Ill probably just get the reese now I guess.

    Hey BTPA Guys, hitch question

    I suppose I should add too that I will be adding a roll pan, so I want to make sure that it wont stick out too far. If they prefer the reese over the others thats fine. Ill run it.

    Hey BTPA Guys, hitch question

    In the rules it states a Reese style class V reciever. My question is do they want us to have a 2.5" reciever tube too or witll a 2" class V hitch work. Reason Is I cant say paying nearly 2.5 times more to get the reese 2.5" hitch over something like the Putnam V. I could care less how one...

    Driveshaft loops.

    okay we may have gone overkill. The whole cage assembly weighs about 60-70lbs id guess it. I doubt it will ever fail, an the best part is that it looks really nice. Ill get some pics up tomorrow night hopefully.

    The Isuzu is back
