does this shop still make these (tmf motorsports)? it's listed on their site, but it looks like it hasn't been updated in awhile. i tried calling, but it just rang out to a sprint voice mail box.

or if anyone has one and is looking to sell, please contact me. thanks.

More than you'd think. 500# would be fine. 750# is pushing it, but alright. The key is to not engage the AYC while towing. That means being very gentle on the gas in turns or disabling the AYC when towing. The one problem with the latter approach is that you can't disable the AYC without also disabling the ACD. And towing with an open center when it's raining isn't fun.

Might add toggle-switches to the AYC solenoids when I repair my pump. Then just add in off-off on the ASC and I'll be fine.

I built a behind the plate hitch. I used velcro to mount my plate. Not as hook and loop, but as a flexible yet strong hinge. A couple of washers and shallow head screws was all it took.

Posted elsewhere but just for ease of access...

That is fantastic! You didn't, by any chance, make measurements before installing it, did you?

I didn't, but the guy I copied it from did!

Ah, the JWA hitch. I have those plans, already, and know who now has the original. But, thanks.
