Did you use some loc-tite on those?
Thread jack: End all, be all: Curt Trailer Hitch (and accessories) Thread

That should be all you need. Install instructions are there as well in the 2nd post.

The hitch should have come with the fish wire tool... great and handy. Remember once you feed the bolts in place, put the nuts on them (just a thread or two) before you push the exhaust up there.. otherwise you run the risk of knocking the bolts out of place.. trust me, that's not fun to fix.

I installed this with my factory exhaust in place, any aftermarket exhaust is a piece of cake.

You do not need to loctite the bolts. An extension on long handled socket wrench works just fine. You only need 50 ft-lbs of torque anyway per instructions.

Cause the GWG avatar works better on the Sol side.

And I'd probably get the boot real quick if I put that up over here!

That's as it is. However, with a little more photoshop work (I don't have photoshop), it may be suitable for the Sol Side!

And how come I don't see your name on the list? You gonna be able to make this one?

I can tell you are a Hawkeye. Way to conservative. That avatar (sky side) is FUNNY not yankable.

We May make it. Druid knows I have an issue with commitment.

My trial went away yesterday so I will definitely be there for Saturday and probably Sunday.

Also, I received a text message from SkyBaby earlier, she is planning to come down also, although I don't know if she is planning to drive Jade or just ride.

OK.. so I see a few Michigan folks (Toyman & Sly Guy, anyone else?)... I'll be leaving on Friday from the metro Detroit area. If anyone is interested in a driving partner let me know.

My route 75 South (once you are out of Michigan.. dang construction) to Findlay, OH. US 23 South to Columbus, OH. I-270 East to I-70 East to Zanesville, OH.

Original post stated no planned dinner on Friday... can we get a confirmation of what's actually happening now? We are supposed to bring beer, right? HA..Ha..ha

The NEO West Caravan will not be arriving until about 10:30 pm or so...probably more like so...on Friday night. I don't think Dino and dashark are coming down until Sat. Morning, so dinner Friday night is up to you guys. (Don't do the Chinese place. NEO Far West got in late last July and missed that dinner, but I heard it was not so good.)

Dinner Sat. night is at The Tumbleweed place next door to the CI.
