Default installed towing hitch today

and it looks good, the ball part is removable so i would only use it when i have to tow my small 400 lb trailer a few times a year when im fishing....

the bad news is....apparently the hitch was designed around a stock muffler... my flowmaster american thunder is too big...thus it is now for sale with about 5000 miles on it. i would be willing to take half what i paid for it new. anyone interested?

well, keep in mind this is with my flowmaster off so it looks weird with no exhaust. However.... i turned tragedy into fortune... out with the single flowmaster A/T and in with the JBA Midpipes w/ H pipe, and Borla Stingers I just ordered....

still have that flowmaster for sale if your interested, also listed with pics in parts section.

Be real careful with towing. I am having a lot of trouble with my rear end and it could be due to towing. I to have a light weight trailer for camping and fishing. I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my rear end before I put on a steeda panhard bar with heavy duty brace and sport springs. What year is yours? Mine is a 07 pony package.

i will be pulling no more than 500 pounds. 400 lb trailer + 95 lb scamp boat. Less than 10 times a year probably, for no more than 50 miles.

Cool, I've thought about going with a hitch, but then I would want mud flaps, a pushbar and huge rally lights too.
... someday (wistfully)...someday

got my frpp dual mufflers in today.... still waiting for the midpipes and hpipe from v6stuff.com..... shipping is really slow... However, jegs sent the mufflers in 2 days.

I put one on today, cause i have a car show saturday... as a single, it sounds comparable to the flowmaster AT that I took off and still have for sale... looking forward to hearing the complete set up...
