That is the problem for me when I do my own work. I know the quality and it sucks.

I bought a trailer hitch for the 100. It says to use a torque wrench for some of the bolts. Do you think that is really necessary or just tighten them down good? I don't have a torque wrench and one was $80 at Lowes.
How many ft lbs. do they need to be torqued down?
Are you using an impact or by hand?
I was planning by hand. The bolts are varied: 80,110,130 and 148 lb-ft.

No way, on a hunnerd?! That s*** will seize up while going 80mph on the interstates!
Does yours go through a hole in the bumper or underneath the bumper? Either way, I'd just tighten them really good.........and if you want to make sure, I've got a new torque wrench you can use. (BTW, what torque does it call for?)

That is what I thought. To me saying tighten fully would be sufficient, but I guess putting the torque is the company doing a little CYA.
DNP I may borrow the torque wrench at some point just to make sure. It is a under bumper version.

I paid $200. I need to use it in a few weeks so I will keep this one. I appreciate the offer.
you are buying/hauling another 40 home aren't you?
I thought that was what the 85 was for?
