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.

Just tighten them as hard as you can. Screw all that.

Yeah if you have some lock tite or thread locker just use it and bear down.

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.

Debate: let it idle or start it 20 times a day?
you are buying/hauling another 40 home aren't you?
I thought that was what the 85 was for?
