You are a Photoshop master. ;p

Back off buddy ....Remember, Sheilah only allows me to use the old s*** computer with no programs on it. I thought I did a fine job

Pasquale,

I was thinking 3' extension in overall length from stock (ie from the front of the tub to the tip of the pintle)

Thanks Brett that sounds about right

Why not just put the spring loaded, rotating lunette back on the trailer and a pintle on the rig? Stonger stonger and simpler.




Edit... Just looked closer at your picture. Is your lunette non-rotating?


Mark...

 

[desertdude]

The M101's do rotate and you also have the option of a slighly higher or lower position

Also interested in what others have done in terms of length when extending the tounge....this is what my set-up looks like now but I'm not sure how much longer I should go

That is such a cool truck! I never get tird of looking at it.

I knew that the M101cdns rotated just like the M100 and the M416. But from the picture I could not be sure that it had not been changed for some reason. And since he is looking at these complicated solutions to what *seems* to already be dealt with by the rotating lunette... ???

Hey all, knew here. Former FJ owner actually. Currently I drive a 4runner. Anyway, I signed up after looking at this thread because I thought I could help. The people who make the couplings that adventure trailer use are at www.locknroll.com they actaully use a shot of a chaser on their site. They have several couplings to choose from. Also it looks like people at the expeditionportal are trying to organize a group buy. Good luck. Charlie see http://expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2501

Sorry, i just saw that Jim had posted that he has some in stock.

How about far enough like 10' so the pebbles will not break your rear glass?

Is your existing pintle bolt on or slide in 2"x2" sq on your 70 series?

Cheers,

right now I have a 2" female receiver in my rear bumper (see pic)...then I have a 2" male slide in hitch with a pintle that bolts to that

Brett,

This 2x2 slide-in hitch should do it. Keep the part simple and strong. Multi-axes have too many moving parts and I don't even see this type being used by professional.

This hitch is rated at 5 tons which may seems overkill but so is mine, (rated 5 tons) yet small and compact.

Btw, Celine's song will be on my offroad video at SnT

Brett, I have that exact Pindle reciever as Jay shows above and it works fine -

I am going lock and roll to get rid of the bang bang bang...

 

[dieselbigot]

Ya...I want to get rid of the bang bang too...just ordered a LnR from Rubiconcruiser on Friday...see you at SnT!

 

[desertdude]

Huh, what's wrong with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

After 4 off-road outings with our Horizon, which has the multi-axis coupler AKA LnR, I can vouch for it's solid performance. I guess time will tell if it really is the schnit...but so far it's great on all fronts.
