Its not bad, takes an extra few seconds to load vs a larger hosting site. But works well for what your using it for. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Great job Adam. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> :kewl I want one, but add three more holes for me. One on each side of the receiver (in the bent part) for the safety chain hooks and one located in the brace for the surge brake cable hook.
Never mind I can drill the holes, just the hitch will do.
Let me know how much to send PayPal. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> No big hurry, anytime next week will work.
Oh, your picture site seems to work just fine for me, but being very lazy I like the picture to show up in the thread instead of going somewhere else to see them.

We'll see, i have one more bare reciever deal.
As for pics in the thread, I like full resolution pics but when i post them on the forum they are too big for some people. Then i resize and eventually i have 2 copies of everything, I'll try to figure out how to link the thumbnail sized pics next. That way everyone has a choice on how to view. work in progress

Looks Great! How much will you make one for? I Need something strong enough for a hitch mount dirtbike carrier and I think this is it.

You'd simply pick the picture link based on the size you want. IIRC, the old Webshots site was like that. Other than that, I like the hitch design. Def. looks shorter than the Curt hitches which I esp. like. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Kind of a one off deal, I mostly needed a reason to use the new hosting. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

If anyone could make one similar to Toasty's I would buy in a heartbeat. I have lost access to my welder for at least a year and would really love to transport my dirtbike now that I don't have space for a trailer. I don't even know if would be able to take the 300-350 lbs tongue weight that will surly be bouncing around on the way to the trail but I would try it. If not can anyone recommend a fab shop in D.C. area
