fast88pu 3,324 #1 Posted January 7, 2017 This is my new hitch that I had Tom the hitch guy custom fab up for me. It's strong adjustable and looks good. Can't wait to get it and install it. Thank you again Tom. 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fast88pu 3,324 #8 Posted January 14, 2017 I lifted the fenders with 1"x 1" square stock and I made the wheels. I lifted them so the fender clearance looks factory 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smoreau 658 #17 Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Tom asked me to come over a few weeks a ago to get some more input on this hitch and I had to say it turned out great! I have his shop make all sorts of stuff for work and its amazing what he does for a living. If you have ever been to Toms home shop you will see things hanging from the ceiling ,all sorts of automotive parts that he made the prototype dies for pressing them out of flat steel. His work also makes splined axle shafts for several monster trucks you see on TV. Most of what they do is prototype parts for Nexteer automotive. Some very cool stufffor sure.he has helped me many times with things that are just not made. Tom is one great guy for sure.

Ronfoso 0 #24 Posted February 26, 2018 fast88pu hitch and wb look good, I just ordered hitch from Tom. What I need are the Length and adjustable info for the wheelie bars and wheels and how did you handle the cross piece for the Wheelie bars if you have any, Do not see them in the pics so they do not interfere with the hook?? Overall great setup!! Ronfoso Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
